Also if you like that please check out my channel and sub. :)

If you do know how to make one (or if your just buyin them lol) i have to say they arent very successful. The only reason i know how to make them is THEY ARE A MUST KNOW SKILL FOR SURVIVAL SITUATIONS!!!

other then that you would be better either goin out and buyin a good trap, or just turkey huntin :(

Welcome to snaring/trapping. Today we call it "Cable Restraint". It is legal for most states but you should check your state. In PA it is only legal in the snowy season. Many states allow it IF you take a class inproper use of the wire snare/restraint. I'd encourage you to check you state regulations first. Some states have 'strange' regulations on the places you can trap with CR.

Like all hunting and fishing regulations, you must read them slow and if any doubt, call the game enforcement people.

The best source for technique on line is :

this booklet has been copied by many states that have required classes.

Some states like Pennsylvania have different regulations; snares are ok with drowning rigs for beavers, but only an improved snare (cable restraint) is legal for 'otes and foxes.

Cable restraints are not as easy as leg hold traps in my opinion, I use both for 'otes; but prefer leg hold traps for beavers.

just some thoughts, I trap in 4 states.
