I've been using these lately and have had a lot of luck. All you do is make a noose and put them on a small game trail. With little ones you can catch rabbit, squirrel, and sometimes quail. I've heard of people using metalwire and snaring deer.
The use of snares in Georgia is limited to Beaver only and they must be placed either in the water or within 10 feet of water. Snares used today are not anything like those of a few years ago although for the survivalist, the old fashioned type will still work very well. In this politically correct age we live in, snares are now called "Cable Restraints" and depending on the state in which you live, may be used for taking a variety of furbearers. Check out Hal Sullivans' traplinecommunity bulletin board at sullivansline.com for more information than you really want to know about snares and snaring. Above all, check the regulations in your state for legal restrictions on the use of snares or traps.
