snareman 3 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 snaring on the news in a couple of minutes bbc news at six bbc 1 these pictures are going to be a regular occurrance on tv shortly if these best snaring practices are put forward by these so called experts, as i say repeatedly set high in open and short locations at 10 inches to bottom of loop and in higher grass at 12 inches , this will cut out a lot of problems for snaremen, and very very few captures of non target species . think about it, large fox cubs out hunting by themselves are caught clean around the neck in pegged rabbit snares set in higher grass at between 9 and 10 inches to the bottom of the loop , if you catch cubs at this height . why the hell does these amateur experts say to set at 3, 5, and 7 1/2 , inches high to the bottom of the snare noose , and 4 inch nooses at 3 fingers high . for rabbit snares , will these people ever learn , and accept real practical advice from people who really know how to snare properly , instead of armchair experts, who really don,t know how to do it , but the only thing they are good at is talking.

Think the solution to this problem is finding out why these so called experts are in the position they are in? why is their advice being taken as best practice and who is deciding that what they say is the correct way of doing it? only untill we get to the bottom of that can we hope to change things.

Holdaway 2 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I believe snareman has been to several colleges - as tutor to gamekeepers etc! I went to the Borders College at St Boswells many moons ago as well as the one in Galashiels... and the textile college which then became part of Heriot Watt... That's way back when a poisons licence for Cymag and Strychnine only took a day... I hope you get on well 00taz11, and when the tutors tell you stuff about snaring that goes against snaremans teachings, just bite your tongue and smile... All the best H Quote Link to post
