Got a few questions for anyone who has thier trappers license for ONTARIO

1) Approx how much was the course?
2) How much is the license per year?
3) are there any Minimum quota requirements (eg you have to get so many per year to get the license for next year)



Thanks..
 
Hello I am from Alberta and not a trapper but my wifes dad is a trapper and in ontario at that.

I can not answer the cost questions for you right now but I can 100% confirm to you that if you ever do get your self a regesterd trap line yes you do have a Quota you need to fill.
 
Its been a while so cant answer the dollars involved.

On private land in southern Ontario, there are no quotas, you just sign up all the land owners you want and trap to youre hearts content.

They just want youre money. 45 dollars a year, last I heard.

Quotas are for beaver up north to keep the prolifick little buggers in check.

Good luck trapping,... it's a great hobby!...
 
i know a few years back when i was looking at it......maybe 4-5 yrs the course was $265, i wanted to but never got around to it and since then the bug has kinda died out
 
been a long time since I had a license so have no idea about cost or what is involved now. I do know that the vast majority of registered traplines (crown land) are held by natives and it matters not if they catch their quota or even trap for that matter.
 
Hey. I just recently did all that. My course was around 250 dollars and about 40 hours long. It was super awesome! Even if you don't end up trapping its really good info. Basically if in southern ontario there are no quotas and you can get a license for a specific county they are much smaller than wmus. This is about 45 a year. But if you just wanna have a license and don't plan on trapping this year you don't need to pay for a license. You just need to have a license at least once every 5 years in order to ensure you do not have to retake the course. I have a buddy who just renews his every 3 or 4 years because he plans on trapping years later or when an opportunity actually arises.
