"Meet Danny Sumpter, the man who has just taught me a whole new way of catching rabbits. He learnt it from Glenn Waters, who sent Danny this note 12 years ago"

 

Isn't it refreshing to see someone acknowledging where an idea came from rather than trying to take credit themselves. And a drawing that will be very familiar to all of us.

Aye i saw the article made for good reading

Nice to see credit given where it is due. Hopefully we will now have more skilled snarers throughout the country who will carry on this tradition and pass on the correct information for future generations to pursue "The Art".

I remember the article in the sporting shooter magazine, although its standard fence wire not high tensile that should be used...I think Danny must of made a boo boo ..

There was another snaring article in shooting times magazine, they should have REAL people the likes of Phil, Colin and Glenn writing articles instead of the shite they posted recently with that nugget writing an article about 4 fingers high setting height and his snares were like an abortion looking at them.... nice ash pegs though

ian, danny has made a mistake, its not high tensil wire thats used, just normal 2.5 mil. galvanized fenceline wire, his eyelet was slightly twistedand snare loop had a slight difficulty in resetting. anyway you forgot to say that the gentleman in question who was setting the rabbit snares in the shooting times magazine was an expert from dorset, the only good thing i can say about the article , is that he had a good chopping block.as for the snaring sequence, i would not have let him carry my snare bag, and his pegs were of the old tent peg style,

Lets hope the more exposure Glenn gets, the sooner the government bodies will sit up and take note of the correct way to set snares.

 

Come on snareman, we need that book of yours! And by the way, why are these magazines not going to the source of all this knowledge?
