How to use a Snare?
Hey guy's I am thinking of using a snare for small animals this winter.
I am looking to see some tips or advice on how and the best ways to use them.
I am going to try out small animals on trails..
I first need to know how to set it up?
Thanks

RE: How to use a Snare?
Actually I havent bought any yet, What do you recommend? This is new to me and I thought it would be diffrent(using snares)..
I have seen the1/16" cable snare on the internet but I dont remember if it said locking or not?
I would like to try one on rabbits,if possible?
Also lots of other criters.

RE: How to use a Snare?
I use 3/16 for coyotes, foxes, coons, and whatever else I trap. And we It is Illegal to use locking snairs here in Kentucky. I would check before I tried to snair rabbits cause I think you may need a permit or something like that, I don't know. The best ways to use them are to find a good trail that you know the animals are using and what kind of animals are running it cause you have to set the snair accordinaly to what kind of animal it is. For example; For coyote, about 8 inches from the ground and 10-12 in Diameter. Here are some pictures on how to set a snair.
First Fassen the snair to a tree or something sturdy
Fix the Diameter in the loop of the Snair;
Put the Wire Stake in the Ground Ready to put on the Snair
Attach the Wire to the snair
Put a couple sticks on both sides to the animals will have to go through the middle. In return it goes right to your snair.
Hope this helps. If you would like anymore help ask. By the way www.trapperman.com Has helped me out alot.
