Paul Trepus – Wolf Trapping Expert

Paul was born and raised in Northern BC where guiding, trapping and ranching were a way of life for most people. Paul started trapping at the age of nine and after graduating from high school, moved north to Pink Mountain on the Alaska Highway where he made a living running a wilderness trap-line for 3 years. Paul’s love and knowledge of the outdoors led him on as he guided for other outfitters in the area and ran his winter trap-lines. Paul married his best friend Marilyn in 1988 and moved to Prince George where he built their log home, worked as a correctional officer for 10 years and bought a registered trap-line.

Paul is a past president of the Prince George Trappers Association and a past director for the BC Trappers Association. Paul is currently a member of the Guide Outfitters Association of BC and the North Central Guide Association.

With his vast experience in trapping and in particular wolf conservation and control, Paul Trepus is in high demand for consulting and educational seminars where he can share his expertise with others.

Finally, wolf-trapping information has become available to the trapping public at large as well as wildlife managers and biologists. This video will fill the void of much needed knowledge for outfitters across the Canadian North who desperately need to bring the out of control wolf population into check in their guide areas. Paul Trepus is without a doubt one of Canada's most elite wolf trappers and is willing and able to share his knowledge with all.
