You can see the beat more clearly in the last pic How high did you set that snare R.H?????

[Rabbithunter 456]

Mr. Gun, i set that snare approx 6 3/4"

 

on the picture the stream looks narrower than what it is, its a good three foot.

 

There is plenty more run's like that. So DEL, if your reading, get yourself down and i'll take you up there

I'm goin to have to come down i'm missing all the fun

How far apart can do you spread snares if you're putting a few along the same run ?

Hi,

well done there rabbitcatcher!!! I'm new to the snaring job so I'm not really up on it too much, I have snared twice before but not caught anything. I have had snares pulled out by foxes and found the snares half way across the field and I have had them asif they have been taken but got away, the wire has been pulled tight and all bent, the loop being really small and scratch marks on the ground. I am going to set some more tonight but does anyone have any tips please?

YOU CAN HAVE SNARES AT 10 FT APART ON THE SAME RUN EVEN CLOSER AS LONG AS THEY DONT TANGLE WITH EACH OTHER WHEN THEY MAKE THERE CATCH CIRCLE WE OFTEN TAKE RABBITS FROM PARALLEL RUNS NO MORE A FEW FEET APART JUST AS LONG AS THEY DONT TANGLE WHEN SPINNING AROUND YOU WILL BE OK mate GGOOD HUNTING ALL WOODGA :ph34r:

[Guest Fishaben]

cheers woodga,

I'll try that out tonight and tell you whether it worked. (and if i need any more tips,lol)

Some tips for ya Fishaben. My name is Rabbithunter, not rabbitcatcher

 

Go on one of PegAndGuns courses

 

Get Decent Snares, buy them from Woodga or PegAndGun, or make yourself

 

Set your snares on dark windy nights

 

7.5" x 5.5" loop

 

5.5" is a good setting height in normal grass.

 

Treat each run as a different set ie; just because the full field might be short grass, you might need to set some at 5.5" and some at 6.5", there could be reeds or whatever in the middle of a run.

 

Make sure your snare is center of the beat & not too far outside the run

 

Use "hoop snares" in soft/sandy ground or wherever a peg wont hold,

 

Keep at it, keep trying, it took me 3years to learn and i wouldnt exactly say that im good

 

It wouldnt have took me 3years, if i went on one of PegAndGuns courses from the start

 

 

 

oh, and do not use rounded pegs, as they will swivel in the ground and come loose

 

If you need any snares, i have a few spare that i could sell you

Hi rabbithunter,lol,sorry about that,

thanks for those tips they should be really handy.

I didnt catch anything llast night but there is plenty around. I dont think I have the money for one of Pedandguns courses as much as I would love to take one. My snares are 6 strand and are gold (I think the colour might be making them a bit wary) but how much would you sell some of yours for a peice. And I live in Barnoldswick,Lancashire, so I doubt I would be able to make to Cumbria although we could try and sort something out because I would love to meet up and give it a bash with the snares.
