Hey guys. Now im home on leave I've been able to get the snares up at my sisters field. Got a few off woodga on tealers that are new to me. Most on the fences. Now the last four nights I've had a snare pulled each time, two are out on ru s, tealers pulled up, in one case bent, with a loop at the end about the size of a tea cup. Had one pulled on the fence this morning too. Tiny run coming out of gorse bush through the fence, pulled but not caught. No idea how something for away with that one. I've tries setting snares higher, even though they are hgh, as I put it down to the backs legs pulling it? Any ideas lads? Still learning the snare game.

If you put any pictures up try to show them as they were , and as they are , bear in mind that these cold foggy nights are not the best conditions to catch to catch rabbits in

Is there anything else going in the field apart from rabbits ?

[darrren 414]

nothings been pulled this morning so there will be a delay. There is a fox about now and then but I've not had any issues with him only my sisters chickens. There's no remains or anything, soi think they've been slipped. It's not crawling with rabbits but enough to get one In the snare for the pot now and then. Im just getting a bit fed up around here, I've out out cage traps for mink just to catch something,nothing. Bugger all with the ferrets, nothing on the lamp anywhere. Compared to ten years ago when I was a teen doing it, the results are worlds apart.

I popped up this morn and had a bunny. The snare was pulled up along with another and I thought they had been robbed. Then i noticed two metrs away a bunny in the bush, he tried to run off but the snare was tangles on the bush. He had been done around the neck and arm. Lesson learned that i need longer pegs ferret net pegs are not long enough. The snare was set nice and high on a run, took Nine days for this particular snare to catch. I am learning slowly. Merry Xmas.

A 7" peg will do for most terrain ?....square cut not round,with end taped to stop water resting on top.

[darrren 414]

What a sad existence it would be coming on here making up imaginary stories about having trouble snaring. Honest to god.

After your post i saw the picture of the peg and i thought how feckin big does he want them till i noticed it was mr teas peg putting the peg in at a angle will help but to do the job properly you should be using proper gear able for the job and a proper sized peg is part of it
