Trapping in Alberta

I could cite statistics and quote mission statements about the need for trapping in today’s society. Yes, those are important things to understand, but certainly not the whole picture. For the record, there are over 2,000 registered trappers in Alberta and according to the Fur Information Council of America the fur industry across North America is a billion dollar industry. Across Canada there are about 60,000 active trappers. Yet, I wanted to go beyond the numbers to get a better understanding of the person who will spend countless hours trekking through acres of marshes or miles of trails through a forest tending to their trap line.

Good job educating people AJ.We can treat Muskrat like a renewable resource or end up treating it like a pest.Sensible harvest is the way.
