Licence renewal
For those of you that have not renewed yet, here is some info , you don't have to give in your consignor statement from the auctions for furs sold .The memorandum in the 2016 -2017 regulations list ( sale/consignment/taxidermy receipts , tanned hides , etc . ) To verify their fur harvests for resident & Registered Trappers . You can have them with you when you go to renew & if they request to see them for verification then you can show what you need but you don't have to give them over if you don't want to . They cannot keep or allowed to keep any financial statements . This is what I found out today from Phyllis in the Evansburg office. The wildlife Biologist in Edmonton was away till mid July when I went in to renew on July 4 TH, so I phoned Evansburg . She was kind enough to track down a biologist & get some answers for me . You still have to fill in your harvest report & for resident trappers each WMU trapped . This is a learning curve for all & the offices aren't sure on what is needed , if you have a number of a Wildlife Biologist then you can follow up for info . Cheers

Renewal of license
Whitetail good to hear some offices are being reasonable on license renewals for our traplines. I always like dealing with Evansburg F & W office, they are very nice staff and helpful to trappers.

I tried to do mine a week ago and they said I had to wait till later in the month.
Also called my Fish cop to get approval every year to get my license and he said he has no say in anything anymore and it is up to the biologist. Guess I will go and give it another shot in a few weeks again

In the last 25+ years that I have had a line, I have never had to produce anything to PROVE what I took. I don't recall earlier, during this period just what was required. If I were to tan all my furs, there would be no auction records and if I did my own tanning there would be no tanning receipts either.....duhhh
If this is what was being asked of by particular offices, it was just someone with a budge flexing their muscle..seen that before.

IMO, keep in mind what the Bios. have in mind... now that they have control, that will be to phase out what we do. It started with fewer and fewer of our F&W guys being the sportsman we all knew them to be. Today More and more are rookie environmentalists and so the saga begins to unfold. Card carrying greenpeacers and Peta people. When the Parks people and Bios start packing, consider the games have begun.
As far as tanning, when the "numbers" indicate that something smells in Denmark, they will change things again..

The original post stated that you aren't required to provide any proof. Just fill out the form with your furbearer numbers and that's it. Even then you are "asked" to do it and it is "encouraged". It doesn't say that you are required to.
"Holders of a Resident Fur Management Licence are asked to complete a Resident Fur Harvest Report (WA12A) on or before September 30 to report the number and species of fur-bearing animals harvested during the previous year, by Wildlife Management Unit. This information helps to inform management of sustainable furbearer populations, and so trapper participation in completing these reports is encouraged."
I wouldn't worry about it. That proof part was part of something regarding traplines last year and that's since been quashed.

" New World Order" now with the Bio's looking after traplines now. The F & W boys were nice to work with always had a good understanding of traplines.
