ianrob 2 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) could you make rabbit snares out of copper wire . or has is it best with brass wire Hi friedrice. When I was a kid, I used copper wire with the burned out eyelets from shoes. It is however just that, kids stuff from the past. You owe it to your quarry to use very best available practice. Use a 22 1/2" six strand brass snare attached to one of Glenn Waters designed tealers set 6 1/2" high to the bottom of the snare. Things are changing, and soon we could see legislation to control our use of snares for rabbits. In the meantime I think we owe it to ourselves and our quarry to use best available imformation. Get in touch by PM with Geordie, he'll fix you up, and not at rip off prices like some places. PS if using snares, check them at first light, even check out Glenns other articles on breakaway and spun in stops. Be responsible for your actions.
