Funky_monks 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've never seen one of those 'hoop' snares before. Do they need pegging down at one side? What wire do you use to make the hoops? Would a coathanger be ok or are they a bit thick? I've only ever set shop-bought snares on fences before - I think I have a lot to learn. I've also tended to bury my snares (not in shit, mind) and also rub earth on my hands before I start setting them (from molehills usually). My theory is, they smell less of people like that. Is doing that a bit pointless then? (I know that that's a lot of questions!) Quote Link to post
robsharpe 1 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 hello funky monks and welcome before i set off i am not on commisson if you pm woodga his dvd will reveal all fence wires hoops and peg wires and a lot of good information , also some very very good info check out this http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=13245 there is a wealth of talent here at the huning life offering sound practical advice to the way of the wire good luck with the art cheers rob Quote Link to post
Funky_monks 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the welcome. I've read those articles - they're very helpful. They don't seem to make much mention of fence wires though. I guess the 'hoop' snares are Woodga's version of the tealer snares, are they? I haven't done any snareing since I was a student (!) and quite fancy getting back into it. Back then I used to just set a few fence wires and every so often I'd get a rabbit for tea. I'll have a think about the 'VD, I'm not sure how much money I want to spend, I've always seen snaring as a cheap tea. I'm quite interested in buying some new wires once Ive moved house (in the next couple of weeks), cos the ones you lot use seem to look a lot better than my rusting shop bought ones.

Rabbithunter 456 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 hoop snares are used in light soils and sandy soils, where a peg will pull right out of the ground. The hoop, believe it or not, will not pull out the ground. I really couldnt believe it until i tried it myself. Like Mr. Sharpe said, buy Woodga's DVD and learn what you need to know Quote Link to post
