Conservation a way of life for Saskatchewan trapper Elmer Anderson
Elmer Anderson a 57 year old trapper farmer from Norquay district east central Saskatchewan calls conservation a way of life. He helped revive fur and game after poaching and indiscriminate trapping depleted wildlife in the mid forties and credits beaver introduction in 1948 with rebuilding populations and enabling habitats for muskrat mink waterfowl moose and deer. He and his brother Arthur run a 36 square mile trap line along the Swan River studying populations marking runs and harvesting beaver mink and muskrat to prime fur. They favor Conibear traps for humane harvesting and report a successful season with multiple beaver mink and muskrat caught, including a 68 pound beaver. They emphasize trapping requires hard work patience area knowledge and ongoing study.
