Good stuff

I may need to be corrected but to the best of my knowledge it is illegal to construct any type of permanent shelter on Crown land. If you do so you run the risk of prosecution and fines as well as the cost to remove the structure. At most you can occupy the same site for a maximum of 21 days. "Generally, camping is allowed free on Crown land for up to 21 days at any one site, except where posted. To qualify for a separate site which can be occupied for an additional 21 days, a second camp site must be at least 100 metres from the first site."

Unless of course you have a Trappers Cabin Permit on your line or a Bait Harvesters Permit.....

Or again as I've stated; "or your remote property".

Looks like a great little spot! Nice and Cozy and just simply beautiful. Now I would say perfect if you told me the supplies all had to hauled in on your horses. 😀

My good freind at the store always asks me;
"Staying out of trouble?"
To which I answer with a $I-I I T eating grin...
"Nope, not getting caught... lol lol lol!"

I as you own that crown land and in court with the peoper argument and knowledge of the law will win. And they know it. As with many laws on the books they depend on those who will bow and say "Yes Sir. I'm so sorry for testing your eminense."

Remember we were taught in school all about Darwin, and since in the media that the west won the cold war.
Please attempt to think and act for yourself.

I have heard so many differnt "opinions" about building tree stands etc on crown land. I say opinions because I have not been able to find any actual official documentation. If anyone has anything offical I would appricate it just for knowledge. Until then my opinion is be respectful and not so obvious. 😀

"crashed" ask for some official documentation. I was simply providing what he asked for. I find your comment to be belittling and condescending at best. Where the use of Crown Land is discussed people here will many times act on what they see as "fact". It would be a shame for someone to follow your advice and end up losing what they have put into building something where it is illegal... materials, labour as well as costs for removal or disposal and a fine. Or are you saying it is ok to pick and choose which laws should be obeyed based on your interpretation of their usefulness or validity. Laws exist for a reason and at the time they were enacted they were valid. Some may seem silly now but if you want them changed then do so in a legal manner. The laws regarding use of Crown land are there to benefit us all as well as the Crown. I believe that if everyone decided for themselves that they could build whatever they wanted where they wanted it would be complete anarchy. In that scenario why wouldn't I just take your place too if I want it? Or is that a law that you feel should be enforced??

Come on now Bear, I was just tugging your PP. 😀

If you followed the yellow brick road on my previous post regarding a legal permit and licence, it was obvious with a little research.

You read an online PDF, pay 40 dollars, (use to be) challenge a multiple choice question test and VIOLA!.... a legal trap line in Alberta. Or you can actually take a trappers course.

As Shell Busey use to say, "It's just that easy".

Peace bro.

Thanks for your clarification. It is sometimes hard to "read between the lines". Sadly even though we need one another even if it is to learn and share information there is an element of the "show me" attitude. That is show me who you are. The kind of person you are and what makes you tick. That said I would rather find out now than in the middle of a pile of crap...LOL !!! I again thank you for clarification. I wouldn't want someone in a group who demonstrated the ideal of picking and choosing which rules to follow. Very bad form old boy..LMAO.

Peace and Cheers.
