They are complaining about going 200 feet off trail to set a trap?  Not much of a "sportsman".   I don't think this seems unreasonable.  

As a side note, the Mat-Su needs some off leash trails so pet owners have a place to go to exercise the pets.  Anchorage has 7 off leash dog areas/trails.  I think this would help with those who aren't abiding by the leash laws now - give pet owners several places they can go to burn some dog energy, and those trails that have the leash laws would likely see a lot less "law breakers" when other options are available.
