    you don,t seem to have expressed yourself very clearly on the post , first , have you made your own 221/2 snare nooses ,and spun them up more firmly , is it these snares that have turned out 5 inches short. or is it the usual shop bought snares that you have purchased which are very short compared to the professional sized noose , if you are using the shop bought snares , then remove the cheap crap green twine , and add your own stronger twine , tie a knot in the end , then loop twine around fenceline and slip the snare noose through the twine loop, and pull it taught, then select your loop si

    with cable snares you are only going to be able to use them once with predators , but they are light and easy to carry and make and very cost effective , i showed trappers out in canada in the 90,s the old scottish fox snaring system that was taught to me 40 years ago by sandy livingston, its ideal for snaring bobcats and lynx , very fast and efficient to set , the canadians who tried it were very impressed by it , and sometimes they caught up to 3 cats with one snare loop before needing replaced , due to a cats hyper make up they were dead so fast , they told me , that there was not even a ma

    the pegged rabbit snares set higher in longer grass are deadly for picking up fox cubs out prowling on their own , so is the hoop snares , only they are usually dead in them, they don,t seem to have the sense to bite the wire, i,ve caught adults around the muzzle and they were also held as they couldn,t bite the wire , i never release them , as they will only become a problem later , but if using breakaways they escape themselves. one of my old mentors WILLIE MAC, snared a couple fox cubs many years ago , and they were used in that film the belstone fox.

    when you use peg wires a high percentage of rabbits are still alive when taken out of the snares especially if there is no areas where they can become entangled and not a bullseye snare amongs,t them , no setting between the beats there woodga. eh lad.
  14. snareman
    why don,t you just make all your own, it will save you buying them.
  15. snareman

  17. snareman
    your right woodga , the book is very informative and well laid out easy to read and follow the plans on how to make your own live catch traps very well done john. i,m needing a good kick to start putting mine together.

    No snares at all apart from an Aldrich type snare trap - there was everything else there though! OTC otc. i,ll post your wire down for your foot snares this week, sorry, forgot all about it.

    Those little wood and wire cage traps were, believe it or not, tiny mouse traps - each one about 6 or 7 inches long. Intricately crafted traps from a chap in Brazil that Ditch and I know as 'Armando'. They went for hardly anything - a bit of a shame to see them sell so cheaply. I just wish I had more spending power yesterday to get a few more! OTC otc. were there no old rabbit snares there.
  20. snareman

    I use an old Post bag with a dodgy buckle that sometimes can be so f*****g annoying but I've had it thirty years. The pin on the buckle is so worn and the strap so soft that sometimes, usually in the pissing rain, and the dark, and the windy and muddy and unhappiness, it slips and falls to the ground spilling its contents everywhere. I usually say oh dear. One of these days I must get a new one, trouble is this ones just the right size. ian, why don,t you put a piece of an old rabbit snarewire through it like i did with mine , as i experienced the same problem. and it saves any aggrivati
