Do trappers need big game carcasses and whatnot?

[Bub]

Last year, in one of the threads a trapper (nube, I believe it was) was saying how hard it is to come up with bait and post-processing leftovers would be appreciated. Albeit being late (maybe very late), I figured it would not be a bad idea to create a thread where trappers can connect with hunters and make use of bone and trim that otherwise would be dumped in the bush or on a side of some hiking trail, lol.

I haven't chopped up any game yet this season, but I will in all likelihood have a couple of deer carcasses and, hopefully, a calf moose before it is over in a couple of weeks. I will also have some bunny skin if there is any interest for it. I am in Peace River.

So there it is. Post up if you have something to get rid of and where you are, as well as if you need something and where you need it.

What a great idea! Bait is always an issue for me and I’m always on the scrounge for whatever I can get. If someone has to make a special trip to dump stuff on the side of the road I’ll save you a trip and dispose of it legally.

Excellent idea, suggest hunters post on trapping forum that they have box scrapes/location etc then the two can coordinate address for pick-up with PM.

I give a trapper goose carcasses. They make great coyote bait.

I'm in Grand Prairie and would happily take whatever you have.

I'm in Drayton Valley. Can pick up if schedule works.

When hunting season is over what about using roadkill that is picked up by the contractors that do the highway maintenance and remove roadkill. In the southwest its Volker Stevin.

Located in lethbridge, pm I’d grab some scraps, especially bird carcasses later in the year.

Good idea, some do, can be a pain with salvage permits and such

I’ll fake whatever anybody can give up.

HIGH LEVEL

Sherwood Park for me... As long as it is packaged decent in some garbage bags or meatless bones I will take it

I've got two mulie carcasses in Edmonton if anyone wants them.

Sorry moose maniac, someone already called it.

Hope you guys looking for scraps are getting some PMs. A little surprised by the lack of response from the hunters, to be honest. I will try to remember to bump this thread or create a similar one early next season.

Well done!

[capper]

Great idea op. Never even thought to ask if anyone would want the scraps.I’m already done for the season but next year will be saving all
My scraps.

One thing to consider if you harvested a deer from a known CWD zone sending the carcass to a trapper in another completely different zone is discouraged. When I hunt at Wainwright or other Eastern zones I don't use the deer carcass for bait here in Rocky, it goes to the landfill just to be on the safe side.

I’ll add my name to this thread . I’m in Fort McMurray and trap north of Conklin
I’ll take bones hide, heads and any else you might need gone. From this area...

Thanks

[Gboe8]

Edson/Whitecourt area. Will pick up

[Big Grey Wolf]

Yes trappers already get road kill, but F & W do not like moving carcus around province, they like them to stay within same WMU. Concern with CWD.

[coyotekiller]

Great idea, I trap around the camrose area
