Trapline Signs
Just curious if any of you RFMA holders are posting signs of active trapline and also anything at your cabins. Just looking for pros and cons ? Also what are you posting on your signs ? Name, Phone Number, keep out ..etc.etc? Trapline is close to rural with recreational users in the area.

I've contemplated posting, "WARNING: Wolf Traps set in snow, trespass at your own risk!"
But then I figured they'd just start trying to find the darn things and steal those too. No signs this year for me... |

Is there a website that a person can check to see if there is a trapline in an area you intend to go into? That would be helpful. Thanks. |
We only put up 2 types of signs for traps
Our signs say for 330s around beaver ponds or lynx cubbies say Danger active trapping in area, use caution Trapline xxxx For power snares they say: Danger power snares on trails Trapline xxxx We do not put our names or anything like that, if anyone needs to contact us we prefer they go thru fish and wildlife /AEP and they can contact us For our cabin our sign says: these building are private property and are authorized under xxxxxxx (our Alberta lands permit number) RFMA xxxx No valuables kept on site This is our winter home, please respect our belongings |
I don't post signs. I don't post notice when I'm hunting or fishing either. This is based on the legal advice of a lawyer. He said that by posting signage it could be construed that I am accepting that it is my responsibility to warn people and should they get hurt at a spot that I haven't posted I could be sued. There are so many trails and access points on my trapline that I couldn't begin to cover it all and I'm not about to set myself up to be punished for doing a good deed. I have hundreds of traps and snares set every season on my line.

Any time I am on Criwn I assume I am on an RFMA and act accordingly when with or without the dogs .:)
Any trail in the area up here is pretty much a safe bet that it is accessed and trapped . Cat |
I believe some crown near communities in no longer RFMA. Alberta parks previous SRD do not resign some lines. However subject to above almost all green area is RFMA.

There is crown land all over the province but are not registered trap lines. There is also privately owned land within registered traplines and the registered trapper does not have permission to trap on this land. The owner of this land can actually give a resident trapper permission to trap this land.

There's a Trapline on the old Athabasca highway east of Perryvale that is simply posted "Active Trapline #xxxx". No warnings or anything else.
