Fox trap or collarum

[Roge 0]

I was at a shoot recently and they had some very well made fox traps - far better than mine. They say that in hard weather they are very effective and are working all the time.

I have been looking into the collarum also and it seems to be very effective.

Any thoughts on what would be the best investment as neither are cheap.

Thanks

I think both the fox trap & the collarum ( although effective ) are way too expensive, they may be a worthwhile investment if your a pestie as you will soon recoup the initial purchase price but for use on a shoot you can't beat the snare......you could make or purchase over a hundred wires for less than the cost of the above enabling you to cover a larger area at any one time. There are many benefits of using snares but the cost ( in my opinion ) is one of the major plus points.......Atb

Good point, are there any books that you could recommend that i could read on snaring, I am going to try to get my hands on the Warrener DVD.

 

Anyone got a copy for sale?

I wouldn't bother Roge.....,if you take a look through to pinned articles & posts there's more information than you'd find on any DVD & if you have any questions there are several first class fox snarers on here that I'm sure would point you in the right direction

They are both good, I have 7 of the sx fox cages and 3 collarums, catch well in the cages however don't often catch adult dog foxes in them! That's when the collarum comes in handy.

And you don't have to worry about non-tagets as much!
