Wolf Trapping Thread

[proguide66]

I am hitting wolf trapping in the am...first time this yr. I am going to take pictures and document the whole process..from cheking 'track routes' to picking snare spots...placing snares , traps , bait...gear used and HOPEFULLY lots of success...as well , detailed pics of the aftermath.....hopefully it will tweek some interest and encourage guy's around the province to get into it and do some wolf trapping in there favorite hunting areas!!!.....its going to be a bit of a 'process' so dont expect kill pics right away...but will put up lots of interesting pics along the ' journey'....hopefully this turns out to be ....wish me luck.

Do you have your own trapline?

Do you have your own trapline?

Guess a good point for curious guys to note is you dont have to own a trap line to trap....wich I dont....but you need to pass the trapping course and have a valid license. I have a govt permit to trap on a dormant line as well permission to trap on 3 other locally owned trap lines....if a line has shown no activity for 2 yrs plus , you can ask the ministry for a permit to trap....$50....you can also trap legally on private land via land owner permission,and open season on the animals targeted , even if the private land is within a trap line owners area.

In order to Trap in BC one has to have a Valid Trappers Licence which, you may already have. However, unless you have written permission, own a Regsitered Trapline or have a Permit it is unlawful set any traps on private property or on Crown Land. Page 92 Hunting & Trapping Regs. (Trapline Registration use and Relinquishment).Page 93 Trapper Education Program.

one of the ways i have seen it done is a circle of snares and bait .. obvious as all get out ,, bait for a while first so they get used to it ....if wolves in the area you will know before you set the snares ... after you set the snares make a ruckus when coming close to the set and the wolves will bolt .. if you lucky you get a wolf or two
