I’m wondering about registered traplines. Is still happening?

What is still happening? Is there an effort to register trapline some where?

I thought there are registered traplines in Canada. Where the trapper has sole trapping rights to his assigned area and is responsible for a quota. Do people sell their rights to the area when they retire? Does the next of kin inherit it? Just wondering how it all works.

As far as I know, at least up to, and including last year, yes. Traplines are still a commodity that can be owned and sold IN CANADA. I'm sure a few Canadians will chime in with more specifics.

Registered lines are still a thing. Different rules for each province, some provinces you own/buy the rights, others you are awarded them.

I have a registered line in Northern Manitoba that I was awarded using a points system. As long as I produce fur I keep the line in my name. I can approve 2 helpers to assist me. We do not have a quota system, it's mine to manage.

BC is similar and I bought mine 25 years ago from the previous "owner"

btw must be a Canadian resident

I think President Trump is going to help me with that.

Wyoming still has areas where beaver are regulated with individual trappers assigned the trapping rights. Antiquated laws are still on the books, this is a relic from back in the days of the early 20th century when beavers were being reintroduced.
