Ihave tryed simple snares, covered my scent with skunk cabbage stem juice, and set it perfectly with clear 45 pound test fishing line, everything is perfect, and I have already checked, but I still don't get any Cottontails. I set only 9 traps throughout the small field near tracks, dens, and little "runways" for the rabbits. Nothing seems to work. So I stick to harvesting them with my bow. I eat them everytime. I use the hide to make shoes and gloves for Winter, and the Femur bone and the other bones for needles, fish hooks, and arrowhead. The intestines for fishing bait, and the stomach for carrying slingshot ammo ( but only if it is a large rabbit). So I don't waste anything. But I still want to trap them but I dont know how to properly construct other traps. I mean I know what they are and how they work, but don't know how to make them. I have sucssesfully caught me some squirrels with the squirrel pole, and caught a wood grouse with a twitch-up snare, but not any rabbits. I guess the rabbits aren't something im lucky with trapping. But I do love my slingshot which I have taken many birds and rabbits with, not as much as my little bow, but enough to carry it with me and the bow on hunts. There are some Ducks near the lake, and a family of Geese im planning on harvesting for meat and feathers for my homemade arrows. And next Spring im going to hunt Turkey with my 30# bow, which can easily kill it. If a 30# bow has a chance of killing Deer ( yes it is possible), it can easily kill a Turkey.
