witch runs are used

check the run is well used set snare 4 fingers high loop directly over the run you should get a result 6 inches is a bit too high

Its amazing how many people still believe 4 finger's high is high enough to snare rabbits they obviously have a lot of bumped snares and not many rabbits set your wires at 6 1/2 inches and see the difference for yourself

you forgot to tell him to snare with a 7 1/2 x5 1/2 inch noose , 6 1/2 inches high to the bottom of the noose, thats why 90 percent of the rabbit snarers in the country , in fact in the world can,t make big catches of rabbits with snares , because they have been indoctrinated by authors and fieldsports writers for over the last hundred years , who couldn,t snare themselves, so the small loop and set low mentality materialised , and it has just been taken for granted so thats the way its to be done . i have just shown a young man who is attending a game keepers course at a college, 50 miles north of me , how to snare rabbits properly , as his instructor is still teaching this nonsense about setting with a 4 inch noose 4 fingers high , well what do you really expect , when kids are still being taught this rubbish at colleges , and amateur experts are still spouting the same drivel about best practises on snaring foxes at 3 to five fingers high , when the hell are we going to get someone with real practical experience who really knows how to snare , to advise the government also . don,t these amateurs realise that you will catch every badger , that runs a trail and a lot of domestic cats also , the exact opposite of what the hunting life strives for , on this site you are taught to snare rabbits and foxes properly with new breakaway snares and how to help avoid non target species being snared , this crap thats recentlly been put forward on best practises on snaring , will certainly help to get snaring banned , without any help from the fieldsport lads themselves, its most obvious in my opinion that these fieldsports organisations who are coming up with this snaring nonsense , really don,t have a clue about snares or snaring at all , and that is the whole truth. probably by the time they really wake up to the true facts it will be to late , so remember don,t say that you have not been warned .

 

Agree Glenn, I'd like to see a few of there supposed authorities on snaring up against yourself, pegandgun and woodga, maybe you could teach them something
