Have a read of this, this is where i got that piece of information from, but another member has had a look at it and said that the police could have got themselves confused with something else.

It says in or near public places is not allowed, this is because of non target spiecies, like dogs

I'm not too sure, they haven't made it clear enough.

"They should never be set out in or attached to fences, along public footpaths or in the vicinity of a house where there is danger to pets and domestic animals."

 

It's saying not where dometic animals could get caught.

NOT ALLWAYS MATE A SNARE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BREAK A RABBITS NECK ,THEY ARE DESIGNED TO ASPHIXIATE THE ANIMAL WHEN IT FIGHTS THE WIRE IF THE STAY STILL THEY ARE NEARLY ALLWAYS ALIVE UNLESS CAUGHT UP AROUND A FENCE OR SOME SUCH ENTANGLE MENT SITUATION

 

The keeper that taught me how to snare a little while ago told me to always aim to break the rabbits neck when you're snaring.

well that speaks volumes because the keeper that taught you does not know how to snare either ill say it again THERE IS NO SNARE THAT BREAKS THE NECK OF A CAUGHT ANIMAL .iv snared a good few thousand rabbits and a fair old number of foxes and never ever have i had one with a broken neck ,it can sometimes be a job dislocating a neck on a big rabbit with your hands never mind a snare

 

The way how i've been taught to set snares breaks quite a few rabbits necks.

Could you put a picture up of one of these snares that has been set to break a rabbits neck,myself and a few others on this site have been chasing rabbits for 40-50 years and love to learn something new.So go on son ,get a snapshot up,and talk us through it. These few were caught the old fashioned way , i had to break there necks.

The next time i snare, i will do mate.

I will explain how i snare:

First of all i put a sharp piece of wood with a hole drilled in the top about 6 inches long, 5 inches in the ground.

Second of all i attatch a 10 inch long bit of bailing twine onto the piece of wood that is now in the ground.

Thirdly i attatch the piece of bailing twine onto a 5 inchish stick and then poke the stick into the ground right next to where i put the 6 inch piece of wood into the ground, then i set the snare as normal.

 

So what happens is:

The rabbit runs into the snare,

The rabbit keeps running for ten inches,

The rabbits neck mostly always breaks when you use this method.

 

this is because it runs into the snare, then that pulls the stick out of the ground and then the bailing twine tightens up as the rabbit runs, and then when theres no more bailing twine left to pull, the neck is broken because of the jolt that the rabbit gets.

 

You might not understand how i have explained it, but i will get some pictures up next time i snare.

The thing is most rabbits will hop into a snare not run.

When i snare, i check the snares three times a day, and it's always worked when i've had them.

Thanks mate now ive seen it written down its a lot clearer,and i think you have explained it well ,one little thing though,just to help us in the future ,could you please start allyour posts and replys with the words

if everyone is going to talk piss then start it up in a different post! poor glass was just telling what he has caught recently and his post has been turned into a argument on wether rabbits break their necks in snares.

i'm sorry wanna be farmer but experienced snaremen like woodga know what they are talking about. if your going to have a debate then start it up in a different post. now this is what the replys to glass's topic should be saying:

 

well done glass, nice snaring! if you are not sure on how to break a rabbits neck then stick to your airgun (what airgun have you got buy the way?) or get an experienced person to show you the ropes. those rabbits are the first of many no doubt!

[stubby 175]

I don't really know how to do that, and I don't want to do it wrong and make it suffer if I don't do it right.

 

give up snaring until you learn

at the end of the day, respect for your quarry comes first, plus the humane killing of it, imagine this scenario, you run out of ammo for your rifle, or it breaks while your out, you then come across one of your snared rabbits, what would you do

 

as stated, give up snaring until you can be shown how to neck a rabbit, it only goes to give trapping/snaring a bad name
