    In one of the local reports the police chief said it was a licensed trapper, not sure if he was quoted right or not though. One thing about the trail is it gets away from houses and buildings pretty fast leaving town.

    Trappermatt this does seem to be whats happening.

    Had the unfortunate experience a few weeks back, traps set illegally on private property, which was literally posted no trespassing 50 feet from a few of the traps. Fortunately though the traps were located prior to any incidences.

    Crown land is one thing private property is completely different. And Yes the MNR was contacted.

    Down here it is unlawful to set a conibear trap on land - you can set them in the water but not on land - I see a good reason for this - a guy may be hunting with a dog and has as much right as the trapper to use crown land - the dog can get caught in one of those traps - I can't squeeze the spring by hand to open these traps - you have to have a tool to open it or step on the springs which is nearly impossible to do with a dog's head in the trap - if a guy is trapping coon he should use a dog proof trap which are available and work very good - there needs to be a law from using these traps on public land -

    Fair enough. This was on private land.
