Making up some rabbit snares
Little Butch replied to Little Butch's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Cheers, so it needs to be about a foot long. What about if i leave them in the garden ??? Is there another way i could get rid of the smell ? Leon -
I need to make up some rabbit snares tonight for use tommorow Ive got some twisted wire which i will double up, how long does it need to be ??? How many should i make ???? Can i use a fishing swivel for the eye ?? Leon
-
Just found the wire and made a snare from it, tied to one end is a large fishing swivel and for the runner i used a smaller swivel Its about 12 inches long Now i just need to tie a bit of cord to the large swivel and i will be sorted How long should it be ??? Where do i set it ??? Ive got quite a bit of wire left so might make a rabbit snare out of it by doubling it up and twisting it Leon

Ok will give it a try, will use some 60lb fishing line Im sure ive got some brass wire somewhere, will have to take a look Where do i set it ??? I take it i'll have to find the runs ? Leon

After reading lots of threads on ratting recently its really got me wanting to go out and kill some dirty great feckers  I have a bull terrier but was thinking more along the lines of rat snares, ive read you can make them out of fishing line, this a good way ??? How often do i check them and where do i place them ??Ive seen loads near the woods where they feed the pheasants and ive watched them climb up the sweetcorn plants, knock the actuall sweetcorn off onto the floor and then feed on it.Cheers Leon

I cant pay as it needs to be done without mum knowing but i can offer something for trade, just say what you want and i'll see what ive got Also any tips on making one would be great Cheers Leon
