Ryan, The ATA also receives Government grants from the province under an MOU. I certainly hope that if the course ever becomes mandatory in SK that you continue to apply your funding towards offsetting the cost of the course for Trappers and not treat it as just a source of income to fill the coffers.
I don’t know what you are imagining the level of knowledge that new Trappers in Alberta gain on our 3 day $420 course but every year I have a half dozen or so, right off the course, new Trappers come through my shed just to learn how to put up coyotes and beavers. The theory of a longer course sounds good but that’s not the reality.
How long was your course when you were new to trapping?
