Last winter i wrole a- weekly
diary of trapline events, and 1
swore E would not do another.
But there are probably some
people who are wondering haw
% well I did this winter-almest-
done, [tis only fair then to write
out this semi-season report. -

In actual fact the production
from the line, if measured by
the number of skins taken, was ”
nol large but if measured by
price received, the results were
more than satisfactory, Which -
is as it should be, for a trapper
can now make a few dollars and
still allow animal populations to
build up a little.

In the early part of the season
[had set out a line with about 50
“percent connibear and 50
: percent of the leg traps that are
: disliked by so many, but alter -
i two weeks of that I said, "What

if _ the heck, the connibears will
i work or they won't so lets give
bog them a real test.” ‘With that I
; : pulled aii the Jeg traps that were
mL set for marten and mink and
.slarted an intensive. test of
different ways te set the: con-
nibear. It had to be. luck for
t i early in the season I witnessed,
&§ 7 for the first time, a marten
of ‘ being taken in a trap. The trap
t

was ia connibear and the. sel
combination was perfect for he
os, was killed instantly. ;

a 55 The connibears work well and

if set where the fur is running

take as many, if not more,

: : animals than.a leg trap could
an have. All.but one marten was -
= killed as . near. instanlly: as
possible, all being: gripped -
somewhere between ~ the
shoulders and the eyes. : The one
nol instantly killed was taken in
the smallest size of. connibear
that was set in a slightly dif- -
ferent manner, a manner that

was not used again, . -
The traps took a toll of birds
(blue jays and grey jays) ‘and.
witha connibear there is no

7 second chance, no chance to live
for another four or five years,

_ alblet with only one leg, No,
there were no survivors but the .
small number of birds taken
can be reduced farther if _
greater care is taken in con-
cealing sets and ensuring. that
animals are lured by scent not

Q.: L understand that a person
who mave in 1973 to a new
. logalily is how entitled to deduct
the cost of moving from his
“income for. income .tax. pur-
poses, Is that correct?
. A. Yes. If you moved loa new
a location you may be eligibile
‘ under certain circumstances to
deduct your moving, expenses
from.income earned at the new
Be location. - oo '
Py . q., Lgradualed from university
‘ in 1973 and moved my ‘wife and
family lo another province,
where I began working. What
moving expenses, if any, may 1
claim as a deduction on my 1973
income tax return?
A. Moving expenses are an
allowable deduction from lhe
salary or business income
earned in the ‘new work
location. Amy moving expenses
in excess of the income earned .
al the new work location in
the year of the move can be
claimed against the salary and
business income earned in the
following year.
The moving expense claim
would. include any of the
following costs Incurred:
1. Travelling expenses, in-~
cluding meals and lodging, in
the course of moving from the
old residence to the new
residence.
2. The cost of transporting and
storing household effects.
3. The cost of temporary ac-
camodation (nol exceeding 15
days)-near the old or new
residence...
4; The cost of cancelling the
‘lease on the ald residence.
5. The selling costs pertaining
to the old residence. ;
--The above moving costs include
those of the taxpayer and the
members of his household.
Q. May every person who
_ moves in 1973 or iater deduct
the cost from his income or is
+ the déduction restricted in any
way? ;
_A. No, not everybody is able to
claim a deduction for moving
expenses, The deduction is
limited to, salary or wage
earners, self-eraployed perzons, -

Tax Tips”

_ for

were taken was 25 percent
higher .‘:. than It should have -
been, for two ravens were
taken in a experimental [ox set
that was exposed to sight far too

much. .

As ] said, the fox catch was
smail this year comprising 15
marten, 3 lynx, 2 fox, 2 mink, 6
ermine end .. wolverine and
excluding beaver, for a total of
2skins, Thatis % of a bird (the

_ drum stick?) for every fur

-animal taken, a far ery {rom 244
to 3 birds per-animal that the

headline makers bandy about in

nearly every article that per-
lains to trapping. Just a slight
difference of 1000 percent ac-
cording to my friendly neigh-
bourhood accountant. Trappers
do take every precaution lo
avoid catching birds, for a trap
so fouled will not take a mink
thal arrives the next day.
"did not use the connibear for
fox, lynx or wolvering, but that
ison the program for next year,
although [ fail to see how fox
can be-taken consistently by a
connibear, .
I have praved, al least to
myself, that there is no reason
for a pert titme trapper like
myself
any of the smaller animals, But

there are two things to be §

considered - one that setting a

* connibear in any'location where’
it may. calch someones pet J

(near a community after athen-
house mink)there will be no
releasing of any animals as can
be done with a leg hold trap, and
two, a connibear set on the
ground will result in the Joss of
furs to mouse and predator
damage, Of the six weasel 1
took, all were ealen, some by
mice and others by marten. -
Mest of these. losses could be
eliminated by setting traps in
different locations.

. So it ean'be done by con-

version to the new traps is
expensive. For the professional
whomay hav e 200 marten traps
the cost would be over 700
dollars, and ‘with a probable -
lake of 200 marten per year his
income on the Investment would :
be. about $2,000; But. ° 200

marten is an awful lot of work, -

and figure that most trappers
oniy dream about. = <2.

and, -in some cases, students

educational institutions, ;

QQ. Ht.a wage earner, for.

example, moves in 1973, how.

does he determine if he qualifies
the moving expense
deduction? . Can you teil us
briefly what the rules are?

A. ‘The most important rule to

‘keep in mind is that moving

expenses may be deducted from
income if you move to a new
residence to earn wages in a
new location of Canada, and
your new residence is at least 25-
miles closer to your new place
of work than- your «former
residence Was, Yau should also
remember’ that moving ex-
penses.may be deducted only
from income earned. al a new
place‘af work or, business.

Q Can [ claim aa moving ex:
penses ‘the cost of tran-

sportation, food and lodgings.

spent lrying to establish a new
residence before: I actually
terminate: my present em,
ployment? :

A. No. You must have ceased |

your employment at tha former
location.

Q. Are Ihere any other rules we
should be aware of, and what
would happen if a person
moved, for inslance, near the
end of the year, and his moving

eosls were greater than [he .
income he earned for the short ..&
period remining in the year at

his new place of work?

A. To answer the first part of.

your question, no deduclion of
maving expenses could be-
permitted if those expenses
_ were eithar paid by the wage
earner's employer reimbursed
the employee for his moving
expenses, In addition, no
nroving expense deductions will
be allowed for moves into or out
of Canada, except for certain
atudents. .
In regard to the second part of
your question, moving expenses
pald must be deducted in, the
year of the move from Lhe in-
come ea. ned at the new place of
work, Hf, as you suggest,
however, your moving expenses
were greater than income

earned at the new place of work, -

the difference may be carried

forward and deducted from:

Income in (he following year.
