The "or" in the above list suggests you need only meet one of the listed criteria.Originally Posted by Wildlife Act
Good luck, hope you get someone to help you out. Would be cool to hear a follow up in a few months to see how it goes.
On the otherhand here are a few more confining clauses:
"4 .It is an offence to trap unless you have
completed a Trapper Education Program
(TEP) approved by the Director of the
Wildlife and Habitat Branch. Approved TEP
courses include those obtained in British
Columbia since July 1, 1982; from Quebec
since July 1,1988; and from the Yukon,
Alberta and Ontario since July 1, 1989."
"4. It is an offence to trap on private
property without a trapping licence and the
written permission of the property owner."
"4. It is an offence to set a trap for, hunt,
kill, take or capture a furbearing animal in
any area of the province unless you are
the registered holder of the trapline for
that area or are authorized by regulation
or permit."
"The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living."
Sure, the owner can trap his private property in some cases should the owner have completed an approved trapper ed course and has a valid trapping licence for the area in question, the date is within the range of dates within which regulations permit trapping the target species, the trap set site is far enough from inhabited buildings and trapping is not otherwise prohibited by other statutes or regulations.
I learned some of this the hard way a while back when my evidentiary photos of coyote depredation included one of a a trap set by the land owner next to a sheep carcass. This photo led to immediate censure of the land owner by the COS.

My buddy owns a section up red lake way .. totally legal to trap and or shoot any preds provided enough proof of danger to live stock provided. Yah right !!! Co don’t care to much about those things.
Licence to trap not required for private .. however one must keep the neighbours dogs in mind that’s why it’s probably best to hire a trapper to come on to the property. Stump lake ranch many years ago wouldn’t let me shoot coyotes because I was competing with the trapper. Which was fine that’s how he makes his living
Lol this is fun let’s play some more
Unlawful to trap anywhere if you do not have a valid trappers license ...... and yes that includes private land.
