North Trapping: Managing Wildlife Humanely

Welcome to the Connected To The Land podcast, sponsored by Peavey Mart. On this latest episode, Ian once again chats with Deborah and Ross Hinter. Ross Hinter has been with the Alberta Trappers Association in varying capacities for 30 years. He currently represents the Association as the Community Liaison with Public, Industry, Indigenous and Government. Ross is the FIC Federal Liaison representing Alberta on the Fur Institute of Canada Committee for Humane Trapping. He is also the certifying body for trapper education instructors in Alberta and is himself a licensed trapper in the province of Alberta. In addition, Ross Hinter was employed for 17 years as a Wildlife Management Professional and is an expert in municipal and urban wildlife management. He grew up in British Columbia raising his family of 5 children while working as a cowboy on the ranches of the Cariboo and the interior. He spent a great amount of time with the Shushwap & Okanagan First Nations Peoples, learning valuable insights and gaining a great love and respect for the land. As a young man he had a yearning to go to the bush, following the tracks of animals and quickly became attuned to their world.Today he is a trapping instructor for the province of Alberta, an artisan, husband, trapper of his Trapline, and a Wildlife Control Expert. Ross travels all over Alberta, wherever there are animal and human conflicts. He offers his expertise in bush craft skills such as winter wilderness survival, arrow making, traditional Native tanning, primitive weaponry, talking sticks, rawhide, and other aspects of bush living.
