Does Canada assign territories to trappers?
This would be so that trappers don't run into each other or over- or
under-trap an area due to not knowing others are there, or not there
when they thought they were.
When I trapped as a teenager I remember being surprised a few times,
running into other lines or having others plop lines down on top of
mine or way too close.
I was thinking that trapper associations would be a way to avoid
conflicts and to optimize results for an area.
If I was going to start trapping in my area again someday, for
instance, or show my kids how, I think it would be a good idea to
contact the local chapter of the trapper's association. They still have
one, right?
I could see if there already was heavy pressure on the area I intended
to cover or if maybe there was a hot area nearby that no one was
trapping.
Basically it seems like some kind of oversight could help area trappers
get the best results.
Young trappers could get a good help this way, too.
Of course it might go against the American spirit of going out blind
and having accidental conflicts and "screwing up by doing" and having
some places untouched and others totally trapped out without anyone
knowing any better... : ) ...No, we're problem-solvers and know how
to cooperate, right?
