take a deep breath, open your mind just a little, His question is a good one.

If you want to trap, then do so.
If you don’t want to then don’t.

Ain’t nothing to it.

I trap a small area every year. Some years produce more than others. The land owners in this area are really into the deer. So after deer season I have a good time chasing coyotes and trying to get better doing it. I guess I can say I trap because I enjoy it and try to help the neighbors out by trying to keep the coyote population in check if I can. Lately my beaver trapping is done in the same way. I have only trapped areas where the population is really good and the land owners want them taken care of. This has helped me over the years, usually don't have problems getting on private land to do what I like and help to manage a little bit.

Here we trap to keep our lines healthy (productive).This is just protecting our investments in our registered traplines.
There are management parameters that can be worked around due to fluctuating fur prices.Those parameters do not include undertrapping when prices are low or overtrapping.when prices are high.Doing either of those will damage the lines productivity long term.
The rights to be the sole manager on a registered trapline comes with the responsibility to manage the fur on that line to a productive level.
No one forces you to manage registered traplines-you can give up the line and liquidate your investments if you are not willing to take the responsibility for it.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

my question would be: "are lawyers ethically bound to illustrate the Truth in court with their wordplay?"
