I stumbled upon an interesting bit of info;thought you guys might get a kick out of it...
so there are something like 2800 crown land traplines in Ontario according to this bit I was reading;
and apparently the biggest one belongs to some guy in the Moosonee district... just shy of nine thousand square kilometers!
Even if he has a helper or two, do they ever see another human all winter? Ha!
That's more than twice the size of the county I live in! I guarantee he's not checking his traps on snowshoes...

It's difficult to visualize just how vast that area is.

Yeah, BJ, that's what I thought too. Almost 100 km x 100 km.
You would have to set up half a dozen different camps spread out over it.
