Ratting

[Little Butch 16]

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

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 ?

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

How high should it be set and how wide should the loop be ??

Do i have to find a certain place to set them ?
