Yet another unsuccessful snaring session

[Guest Fishaben]

HI all,

Ive been camping over the weekend and set some hoop snares on runs that I have seen rabbits running on and using, the rabbits were running from one bush to another and I set them at both entrances to both bushes. I had no takes at all apart from 1 where the rabbit had been caught on the back leg and got out , but I realise that that snare was set lower down than the others, all the others were set at the height shown in woodga's snaring dvd. I even burried the snares in soil for a few hours before I set them. Any tips on what on earth I can do to catch at least 1 rabbit.

set your wires further out on the small beats

not in the entrance to the bushes mate

Set them a bit further away from the bushes as there a bit cautious ,looking for danger coming from the cover and will be travelling obviously slower, fishaben. Also practice and the heights and size of loops will come to you in time.

dont give up fishaben look for the best beats set a few wires ten well set are much better than 40 badly set speaking from experience :whistle: , keep at it success will come you got the best start by watching woodgas dvd keep the faith
