Rabbit snares used for hares are normally set at 9-10"+,more or less the same height as a fox snare hence the catches of hares in fox wires. Quote Link to post

I make the loop 71/2" long and 6" wide,that gives me a nice big loop to play with so it covers all the run,set at 9-10" depending on the ground,set over the middle of the beat same as for a rabbit.
