16 the oxarnlnor Thursday May 1m Berts king of trappers HIGH LEVEL Alta CP Bert Croy is one ofthe last sur vivors of avanishing breed In fat he is considered the king of northern Alberta trappers This is fiercely competitive roughandtumble business that last year netted Alberta trap pers about $63 million There is no room for the weak You have to be tough as nails to survive the biterly cold nights on the rap line the dan ger of crossing frozen river where the ice maygive wa any moment or the long trek through deep snows when your snowmobile quits miles from home You have to be good if only to survive Bert Croy isnt just good Hes the best NEEDS N0 LABEL In this frozen north country famous for its legends and tall tales there are many who lay claim to the trapper king title but it is typical of this bearded bushwise Peace River trapper that he shrugs it all off with laugh Croy 45 who covers 160 kilo metres on his trap line daily has been around too long and has seen too much to call himv self king ofanything It is the fur buyers the men who haveheard all the tales fromCroys peers who acknowledge him as undisputed king of the hard men who call themselves trappers He is the king beyond ques tion says Gordon Belcourt one of the largest buyers in the north Croy is not the best because he makes the most money In fact many make much more His reputation comes from the fact that he produces day in day out week after week that hes on the trap line He never misses day He says he manages his line SNOW AN INSULATOR Snow is an excellent insulator keeping croplands warm and providing refuge for small ani with keen eye to maintain its delicate ecological balance He comes from family of 14 that earned its living trapping If they trapped the line dry they starved Its our living our bread and butter he says WORKS FOR BALANCE Two years ago Croy took 5700 t48ngloff the line The fol lowing year he concentrated on mink because he knew the mink would deplete the muskrat pop ulation if not checked Trapping just takes the ter rible cycle out he says ex plaining how he tries to keep population levels stable to re duce the natural cycle of over population followed by disease and neardepletion If find anything think is diseased Ill have it tested If its diseased Ill trap it out Croy is one of the last oldtime trappers who still has the skill to trap beaver under the ice few even try today And even fewer trap the wary northern wolves with any regu Iarity When he claimed his home stead 17 years ago Croy walked the 45 kilometres from High Level There were no roads He spent the first few years with out even cabin sleeping in rough camp under big spruce Today he owns more than 800 acres of land and is clearing it to begin farming Despite his rugged back ground Croy does give in to some modern conveniences Where it once took him eight days to walk the trap line he now does it in one day on snowmobile More trouble in Tehran An Iranian revolutionary militiamen pistol in
