At the end of the season the head trapper closed his snares and left them out. In the fall these snares were often rusted and brittle and useless.Last spring I removed all the snares and recycled them. At the last local trappers workshop I was able to build several dozen cables and the head trapper purchased new ones from Sask.( dam beaver, out of Rhein.)Happy trapping.
Your SUPPOSEDLY the # 2 guy on a trap line and you don't know the regulations pertaining to check times for snares, how do you explain that ?
