DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED
3 DAYS - $250
The Standard Trapping course is your first step toward becoming a trapper.
The course includes:instruction on the safe use of traps and other equipment,biology of furbearers,animal management,marketing and grading of furs,skinning and fur handling, as well ashumane trapping techniques.
The Alberta Government refers to a Trapline as a Registered Fur Management Area (R.F.M.A)
There are two kinds of trapping licences in Alberta:Registered Licence and Resident Licence.
A Registered License allows a trapper the right to trap a portion of Alberta and with that privilege the trapper may have a cabin to help with trapping activities.
This is most commonly called a “trapline”.
A trapper does not own the land but has the right to trap the fur on that portion subject to a five-year permit with annual renewals.
The trapper cannot sell the land on which they trap, selling a trapline refers to the assets within that trapline.
The Resident Licence allows a trapper to trap on private property with the owner’s permission.
This simply requires the consent of the landowner through a properly filled out government form called a WA 19A, available for download here, or at a Fish and Wildlife district office.
Your Resident Trapping Licence number must be legible on the form. Many trappers choose this method of trapping and – subject to seasons – resident trappers can harvest most furbearers in the province.
Both Registered and Resident trappers are subject to the rules, regulations and seasons. A guide to these is found in the Alberta Trapping Regulations, which are published yearly.
This does NOT include your lodging and meals - this is arranged and paid for by your own preference
