[micky 3,325]

As was driving down a fen road near Boston Lincs early this morning,i saw a dead hare on the grass verge,it did,nt seem bashed about so i stopped to pick it up,when i looked closer ,i saw she was wearing a snare, which had been snapped or bitten. over the years i have ferreted three rabbits with broken snares round there necks and two years ago i snared one that had a snare on it

mickey, i once snared a rabbit with a broken snare on its neck , and jagged my hand when killing a hare in a gate net one night as it had a broken wire on its neck also , that was many years ago ,

I've shot a rabbit with a broken snare on it and my old bosses cat came home wearing one once.

localy there not many snareing, but used to get a few on estates and we used to snare hares along a caravan park they stayed in there and we chased them with dogs then when the dogs were feched beacause of obstacles ,we snared a few hares we were proud 12 and fourteen we had no toutors, but had been out rabbiting etc so we saw the hare runs through the fences ,had feral cats to not so good three cecades ago now but can still remenber it if it was yesterday walking home with a hare brill

Have you ever had this then........?

Checking the wires one morning i found a snare cord chewed through and the rabbit gone. Two wires further up was a rabbit snared with the missing wire around its neck...........AND ON THE SAME DAY...believe it or not........i had two rabbits in one snare. One was held by the neck having been caught normally and the second had got the same wire somehow looped and twisted around its belly.

The two in the same snare,could it have been a buck and a doe,the doe gets caught and the male does what a male rabbit does and gets itself tangled up,just a thought

In the early 60s my granpa and me were having a drink with two old long netters,they were both great fellows with loads of tales,the talk got round to the size of rabbits ,oliver said he was behind the nets killing rabbits as they were driven in ,he said he thought he had killed a hare it was that big ,they gutted the catch and went home .When oliver hung is share up he saw the rabbit was wearing a snare .I have never forgetten that shush,he said ,i got a bob for him.
