Objective(s): To verify the strike locations and the killing efficiency of the Sauvageau 2001-8 trap in comparison to leg hold traps.
Project Description: Two trap lines consisting of 60 leghold traps and 60 of the experimental trap will be set in each of the two communities. A local and experienced trapper will be hired to assist in the project. A total of 200 animals, 100 from each community, 50 from each of the two different types of traps, will be taken. All Arctic fox caught in the traps will be purchased from the trapper and sent to Edmonton for examination.
