Question about registered trapline

[Shannon]

Hello. My husband is currently a resident trapper and has some questions about buying a trapline. He knows that he needs to become a junior trapper but isn't to sure how about becoming one?? Are the regulations of owning a trapline the same in all provinces and territories?

Thanks for your help.

He doesn't need to become a junior partner. He can just buy a trapline from somebody that has one for sale. Transfer takes up to 2 months though so it would be best to do it in the off season. There are a few for sale in the ATA magazine. Hope this helps

Thank you so much. My husband was told that he needed to be a junior trapper before he could buy a trapline.

Much will depend on the F&W officer in the region of the trapline you intend to buy. If he deems you to not have enough experience, he can ask you to Junior for a year before allowing the sale to go through. Just make sure that you are approved before handing over any money.
