Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 And a few unhappy bunnys I set snares saturday morning and i checked them this morning. I will be picking them up tommorow.

Guest sushie Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Good snaring mate! You seem to be getting better all the time! Quote Link to post
Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Peg Snared This rabbit was caught, round its neck, but the top of the snare was in front of its lug's. This is the way that the warrener describes how he catches his rabbits in his "bullseye snares" which apparently breaks their necks. I'll assure you this rabbit did not have a broken neck (well it did, after i done it) it was well and truly alive your catch rate has gone up 1000% I'd say so, mate Quote Link to post
