Animal snares?
Well I know thats it not around trapping season or anything, but I was thinking about maybe giving snares a shot. A guy on tv had luck with them so I figure I can maybe catch something? My question is how do you make them? Where to set them ? What could you catch with them to ? and hows it work?

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.

You might want to do some research first. Some states they are illegal and some have regulations to size of loop to having a deer stop. I don't want to rain on anyones parade but there is more to it than just hanging one in a trail. Get some books on it or find someone that has been doing it for years. The more you know about it the more animals you'll catch and the more fun you'll have.

A few years back I started using snares, and they are now my favorite kind of trap. This is because they are 98% invisible in almost any location, and are very light, quick, and easy to set up. As wyotrapper said, you do need to check your state regulations, as here in minnesota you're only allowed to use them with diameter restrictions and at least half submerged in water until later in the season. Make sure you know your game or you may catch something by accident (like a deer....BIG oops). Be careful and responsible, but have fun!
