Snaring game
 

How will snares and spring snares do when
It comes to trapping small to medium size game.
And what are the basic snare sets?

Snares are a great way to take animals from the size of a muskrat or mink, on up... Check the legality of what you can and cannot snare. In Wyoming we can snare furbearers and predators, but not game animals. I'd initially recommend commercial snares. They are inexpensive and built to the size of animal you are targeting. They can be set to dispatch or kill the animal or to restrain them alive. Again, know what is legal in your state. They have locks, and some have springs that help them dispatch more quickly. You can also use entanglement to get them to lock down and dispatch more quickly.
