Reminder about leghold traps

Trapping season is here again. Be watchful for leghold traps when you are out enjoying the winter. There are 3 LEGAL traplines that impact our area. My last reply from Barry Penner stated that the government is not prepared to make any changes to trapping regulations as trapping is such a small industry. Please remind friends or folks you meet out in the woods, especially people with dogs and/ or children. Most of the traps that have been seen around here are right next to logging roads that are accessible by truck or snowmobile. They are often baited with cow legs etc. Any dog is going to be curious. Please be careful.
