Do you have pictures of any of these "cabin houses" that people have built as weekend retreats ? I'm not saying they don't exist but I keep hearing about all this Trapline abuse but nobody can ever show me a picture or give me any details of where they're located. Everybody has seen the one located South of Grande Cache that was for sale for 300K now down to 200K that failed to sell at the auction. Apparently there is one in the Wilmore that a couple dentists out of Edmonton own but all just rumours again.
Again I'm not saying there isn't people abusing the system out there, but it does seem to get talked about a lot more then I have ever seen out in the bush. Maybe just different areas that I don't frequent.
