I SEE YOUR A BOWHUNTER, JUST LIKE ME. MY ADVICE IF YOU WANT TO GET A RABBIT YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF ARROWING ONE THAT TO SNARE ONE. THE SNARES I USED TO SET OUT ONCE THE RABBIT OR FURBEARS HEAD WOULD GO INTO THE SNARE HIS MOMENTUM WOULD TRIGGER THE RELEASE AND THE SNARE WOULD WHIP IT INTO THE AIR BREAKING THE NECK, IF THE PRESSURE OF THE WHIP DIDNT BREAK THE NECK THEN IT WOULD BE STRANGLED TO DEATH (HUNG). YOU HAVE TO FIND THERE TRIALS ANDPUT BRUSH, STICKS, OR WHATEVER TO MAKE A STRIGHT CLEAR PATH TO YOUR SNARE. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE MOST PEOPLE MAKE MYSELF INCLUDED WHEN I DID SNARING IS WHEN YOU STRIP OFF THE CEDAR BRANCHES AND PULL DOWN THE SHAVED TRUNK DONT PULL IT DOWN ALL THE WAY. IF YOU PULL THE TREE DOWN TO THE GROUND ALL THE WAY THEN YOUR GONNA MISS ALOT OF GAME. BECUASE IF YOU PULL THE TREE DOWN ALL THE WAY AND MAKE THE RELEASE THE TREE WANTS TO BE STRAIGHT UP, THE ANIMAL WILL HAVE TO ACTUALLY RUN THROUGHT THE SNARE AT FULL SPEED TO RELEASE THE RELEASE. IF YOU MAKE THE RELEASE HIGHER THERE NOT MUCH PRESSURE ON THE TREE MAKING THE RELEASE A HAIR TRIGGER. SO IF ANYTHING BARLY TOUCHES THE SNARE IT WILL BE SET OFF. I HAVE COUNTLESS HOURS SNARING THE BEST TIME TO SNARE IS IN THE WINTER. GOOD LUCK!!!!
