Maybe the snare course should be required. Not everybody in the province that is snaring these $135 coyotes is up to speed on modern equipment. So for the price of 1/2 a really nice coyote, they get learned.

Yup, it's supposed to be $80, the same price as at Gordy's private business. Big surprise. He wouldn't want the association to be under cutting him.
How in the flip do you know if there are Trappers that are not up to speed with trapping coyotes? It's not exactly rocket science. People just repeat this crap over and over until it becomes truth. It's just another imaginary reason for fleecing Trappers and lining people's pockets with Trapper's money.
Maybe you should get yourself elected as President, Marty. You could lobby to make it mandatory to only use Senneker snares in Alberta. The association and your private business would be the only ones to sell them. You could jack up the price $10 per snare once they become mandatory. Apparently all that you have to do is convince a few shills that snaring would come to an end in Alberta if they don't go along with it and those useful idiots will help you convince everyone else. Hey, it worked well for Gordy's business so I don't think that it couldn't work well for yours as well.
