Why were there no coureurs des bois before 1663. Why did this change. Why did the days of the coureurs des bois come to an end?
They were there before 1663, but only in small numbers. The Sixties however saw a great increase in immigration to Canada from France and with that, a great increase in the number of coureurs des bois. Their days as free agents came to an end even before 1700, because the French Government decided to regulate this trade and gave trade concessions to big trading houses. This system (the so-called 'congé'-system) put the trade in the hands of the traveling representatives of the trading houses, the voyageurs.
