Excellent article.........not , doesn't exactly show someone wanting to learn how to snare foxes correctly, an AB snare and tealer thats it. Thats what gets me about some of these magazines, they just have people skimming the surface on subjects, most are as if they don't really have any basic understanding and just lift the same information from elsewhere and regurgitate it...

 

 

We will get something sorted from the likes of glenn, woodga and pegandgun to keep people on the right track and most of all legal.

That tealer fixing is atrocious........cable ties really aren't the answer.......I wouldn't be fixing them like that ....that is for sure.

there's a cracker about rabbit snaring on page 90 of the shooting times 24th july edition. It'll give Glenn a stroke if he sees it, it's got photo's showing how to set a 4" loop four fingers high between the beats, with snares that have been left to go black first etc, all the old chestnuts, a real load of twaddle.

first of all on the fox snaring, have they never heard of the little plastic teeler sleeve method i came up with in 1992, also the jump stick method is a bad idea, roe and muntjack will go underneath also the fawns , its really a bad idea and thats from real experience , there is a far simpler method than that to stop deer being neck snared , amateurs. now for the rabbit snaring article as ian mentions, the guy who is doing the snaring is a master . wait for it....... snaring expert , whose snares are set 3 fingers high, snares are not tensioned, loops shaped like fifty pence pieces , hanging like drunk men, and here is the crunch, the 7 inch hazel tealers all have white tape wrapped around them so that they can be easily seen, by all and sundry who happens to pass by. a guy i taught from norfolk sent up the article with a note attached , which said snareman i,m just about to ruin your day , after reading it i phoned him and said i,m just leaving for norfolk, as i,m coming right down to ruin yours . ha ha. i,ve had numerous phone calls about this article from keepers and snarers from all over , in my opinion it has to be the worst article that i have ever had the misfortune to ever read in my whole life about rabbit snaring , along with the bullsh#t snare nonsense. this is the type of donkey mentality that seemingly still haunts the snaring world , will they ever learn. the problem stems away back decades from writers who could not snare and wrote pure dreamed up fiction . which many many others all copied and it soon was taken as the norm by the public , but the real pro. trappers knew different, and kept quiet about it for decades and wo be tide you if you told anyone , as the pro,s earned there living snaring they were happy to let the dumplings carry on with there tiny loops three and four fingers high crap. rant over. i,m away for a drink to settle me down. by the way , PALMER, you did ruin my day.

Another load of useless supposedly genuine information from a person who,s head is stuck in the sand as regarding modern day fox and rabbit control with snares . These articles reach out to a wide section of people who are interested in snaring and mislead them from the start ,Its about time you got that book finished glenn

and shut all these imposters up for good .

,At least on this hunting site the information given is correct and gleaned from years of actually setting wires, practical experiance is invaluable, So read Glenns articles on how to use wires correctly at least they tell the truth taken from a lifetime out in the field

oh and Waters you spoilt my day as well

Glenn and Woodga, I have to add that we are spoiled on this site, by being taught by real masters. People who can snare, people who take the time and trouble to explain again and again, people who kindly help others not as clued up on the job. People with real knowledge that works.

Glenn and Woodga, I want to thank you very much for the info both in articles and PMs for the real help and advice you have given me and others on this site, and proof that some of it has rubbed off is in the fact that we spotted the Shooting Times article for what it was, a load of bolloc*s.

Glenn You'll have to publish your book, it'll become the snarers bible. Thanks again for the great help and advice.

ian, when i first put the illustrations and snaring information up on site , it was to help people to be able to do it properly, i certainly would not have done if it was wrong , for the simple fact , that i would have made a complete fool of myself in front of tens of thousands of people from all over the world who have looked at the hunting life site . the people who snare with tiny nooses and set at a fist high , between beats ,have been misled over the decades , by authors , who knew no better , even today field sports writers are still advocating setting with small loops low to the ground, i feel sorry for the young people who are desperate to learn , and these writers keep telling them to practice , these young lads will be snaring until they are 99 yrs. old and still not catching rabbits, i have personally wrote to one writer who is now deceased , and told him he was doing it all wrong and misleading people , he still kept writing the same old drivel, probably to save his face and his pride. there are people out there who are still writing , the same nonsense , and its totally wrong. for instance what chance do people have when even the defra, site , on rabbit snaring is an insult to a professional rabbit trappers intelligence , along with their fox snaring information, who ever is advising them , in my opinion are severely lacking in real practical experience , years of trial and error , out in all and every type of weather , and the mileage, all the little problems, tricks and tips that can make you or break you, the real secret ,to trapping and snaring, animals in large numbers, is PURE SIMPLICITY, thats professionalism. but the amateurs love work. and thats fact. thats why you get the truth on HUNTING LIFE.
