Snares-How We See Vs How They See


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure anyone has ever done this before but I was taking some pictures and started messing around with filters on my phone. Now from my reading most furbears see in kinda a black and white type deal with some color and this looked about right.

First off both snares are about the same loop height 5/64th 1x19 cable bmi lock and I tried taking them from the same angle same place same distance.
Ok so here how we see a brand new in treated snare

Same snare how we can suspect the animal to see it

Now here's the exact same style snare but the cable has been treated( washed or boiled to remove the shine) and spray painted ( pretty common practice ) a base coat  of flat brown then a few streaks of tan and green

I suppose it could help but do we Know what colors a fox or rabbit can see? in this Country Foxes and Rabbits  go through wire fences many times a day and  they have no fear of wire at all , if you think it works go ahead  but i think it is just making the job more complicated .

Hmmm, I have seen video's on YouTube where fox's and coyotes have stepped around and backed out of snares. The evidence of this was their footsteps in the snow. The old canines are a clever animal. Some obviously more clever than others.
