I have the wolf manual but I’ve loaned it out. This is in the back of the ADF&G regulations. I wonder how many people this has helped or hurt over the years? For the life of me I cannot find what in there might be offensive (at least to an ethical trapper!) Perhaps Slick Pan could enlighten us if he gets a moment? Pete

THIS IS CLEARLY AN AGENDA! I jokes. But seriously I would like to know what part anyone takes issue with in that, even people who are against trapping I think would find it pretty well written.

I have corrected the quote. It should read " Wolf populations have NEVER been endangered in or even threatened in Alaska." I was so upset at the manual that I did not read my post as close as I should have for which I have corrected it.
As far as the Alaska Trappers Assoc. code of ethics, if the Alaska Trappers Assoc. wants to pin it on their foreheads I don't care but the manual is not just being sold to Alaskans. The manual is being sold to anyone who puts up their hard earned money. I don't think it right to collect other peoples money that are not part of the association and use the money to promote their own agenda. That's my take on it and this will be my last post about it. WOW. I cant imagine have the free time to complain about something like this.

Turning in violators is not always the best policy, IMHO. I think we just had a thread on this.

I agree with Dirt. #13 and #11 would be the only ones I could really see anyone that was ethical having a problem with. I add #11 because I don't think you should help a landowner who is anti trapping until they have a problem. If they are anti trapping or anti hunting, then they should have to live/deal with the problems their stance causes them theirselves. #12 has some things in it that require me to give away trade secrets, that I'm not necessarily gonna do. For me trapping is a competitive business and business is bad and I don't need to help my competitors to make it worse. I know, this is old school. In particular helping with methods and means, fur handling, and marketing.

Did you think after reading the book you’d be stacking wolves like cordwood? Haha, it’s a tool in the tool box. The only mentor I’ve had was Heimo, Webb (last summers national convention)and some advice from some guys on here. No book is going to make you a successful wolf trapper….but I did spend a pile of $ on books about research/trapping them. Aaaand wammo!

For the record, the O.P. started another thread on the main forum complaining about the class he had to take down south to trap wolves. He was ticked that 3/4 of the class time was wasted on ethics and rules, and the rest of the time was spent on things he already knew. I expect a new book from his Exellency any time, now!
Just doing what I want now.

More organizational based propaganda in the latest ATA Alaska Trapper magazine. Barely got the cover open and there it was! I joke. Being a supporter of the ATA I approve of their message. Gonna catch it for this one but would add if you can not bring yourself to convert to Conibear type traps for marten then at least quit posting pics of marten hanging from poles in foot traps. The antis just love those fresh pics of that sort of thing.
