snaring question

[borntoshoot 1]

i set one snare the other week on large run, i only put one there to see if the run was in use. When i checked it in the morning the tealer had pulled out and the loop was about an inch wide (closed up) and there was a small amount of fir on it.

1. is it normal for the tealer to pull out?

2. how did the rabbit escape if the loop was small?

3. how can i stop this from happening in the future?

im no expert but according to woodga dVD this is becasue a rabbits chest has hit it and kocked the tealer out (this is normal) and another rabbit has caught its paw, hence the fur.

 

PS get the DVD as you will soon become addicted to snaringg and its brilliant

thats what i would think if the chest has hit raise a good couple of inches to get the head remember 6-9 inches to the bottom of the noose depending on grass length

i went out there with the lamp the other night at about 11 and there was "nout about" lol

anyway last year we had a few inches of snow, it stayed for about 2 days and that was the biggest bag ive ever had with the air rifle and snares that week. That really did surprise me to be honest.

sounds like you had a lucky day lol or maybe they got hungry and had to come out

i dont know maybe it had something to do with it raining for 2 days before the snow. then the snow stayed for about 2 days then i went out so you are probably right in saying that they got hungry.
