BC Outfitter Stole? my Deposit. Any Ideas?

My friend used a conniver on a vertical box set.

Conibear, spellcheck got me again!

@WAB: sorry about the tragic loss of your friend.
I admire anyone able to trap in “Winter conditions” - an art in itself and also the skill in being able to catch Wolverine with regularity. I also trap but fortunately don’t need to make a living at it (I’d starve), it is a hobby for me and I’m “self taught”. My Guide in Alaska was also a Trapper and he told me that Wolverine “fight a trap” harder then any other animal, they never tire and can actually pull/break some cheaper made foot traps apart - just from their relentless fighting the trap. I’m not sure what size trap he used for Wolverine but it was at least a #3 or larger….a lot of trap for an animal that only weighs #25 - #35lb.

Thanks @HankBuck. It was a rough night. We knew a plane was down on the Kustatan and he was late but it took hours to get a positive ID.

Only way

Yep, and then it’s not every trapper that can catch a wolverine.

Watching this post I see that there are several members who have a very good grasp of Canadian law.

I have a question if I do a posting on a members only web site that a non member stole a large sum of money from me and it was a false statement and I feel my reputation was damaged am I entitled to some reimbursement?

I ask this as a serious question. Wasn’t Donald Trump sued for a large sum of money for calling a woman a name.

It would seem to me that someone should be held liable?

I really would like to know.

Perhaps. But the plaintiff needs to prove damages. I don't recall that the complainant in this case ever divulged the outfitter's name. Therefore, how could his reputation be damaged? In other threads names have been dropped. And that is fine as long as the complaint can be backed up with documentation. It's always better to just publish the documented facts and let the readers draw their own conclusions. Don't be attaching malicious labels. The readers can do that. They can't be identified = can't be sued for slander, etc.

I not sure if the outfitter co. name was stated, but I believer ownership was.

I would never accuse anyone of a crime in print unless I was 100% sure.

I have known a lot of dodgy opetators, but I believe I only mentioned one by name “Out of Africa” many people know the operators name. Events that took place made me loose a lot of respect for SCI.

Outfitters name is in the first post, person name appears later.
