Am wondering if you're confusing shop bought rabbit snares with shop bought fox snares? Fox snares I've bought here work just fine.

SHOP BROUGHT FOX SNARES R OK

the steel wire does not go into the stops far enough , and pull of at times , i lost 8 foxes trying them, but resnared 6 of them in my own snares , was speaking to a keeper and he will not set them on the hill where red deer are as the same problems occur , the loops are to small on some of them , and they advertise a 33 inch loop now , big deal , and charge extra money . these snares can be made cheap as the hard steel bowden cable is half the price of aircraft cable . the steel eyes rust like hell, at the game fair a keeper said to me watch this , he put his foot into the loop of one of these new wires , wrapped the plain wire trace around his hand and the wire pulled out of the stop. you can buy good ones from woodga. that will not pull apart.

As always, Snareman is the man with the answers. Thanks Snareman, I think I will have to set a couple a we have a fox coming up to the farm house now. I saw him today in broad daylight, calm as you like trotting across the paddock. Height and width of setting Snareman please? My Dad used to snare foxes, but I were only a slip o' a lad back then and can't remember.
