More Rabbit Snaring!

[glass22 0]

I set my snares up at 2.30pm and whent and checked them at 8:30pm and had three rabbits!

 

Something a little odd tho, one was sat there(not really sure if it was dead or alive). But the peg was pulled out of the ground so it could really of ran off...

 

Anyway, I've left the snares up and reset the three that had caught and will check them in the morning.

Im intriged, why did you not know if it was dead or alive

[glass22 0]

Well it was sat there like it was alive, but the peg was out and it could of just ran off.

 

I also kill them with a shot to the head, cause I don't know how to do that thing where you break their necks.

 

I'm % sure it was alive.

The one that just sat still could have had mixie, but i'm no expert

Why not just pick it up any way and then grab its neck and pull. Easiest and most sufficient way mate.

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.

Look at some videos on youtube, but if you've snared them properly, they should be dead as soon as they run into the snare.

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

suggest you give up snaring until you discover how to kill a rabbit!

'Fraid not mate! Fenn traps kill instantly, wires tend to hold bunnies alive, depending on how much they pull and whether they get tangled round something.

 

Glass: practice on dead ones, hold the bunny by the back legs, other hand round the back of the neck, tip the head so it's at 90 degrees to the body, and then pull. You'll feel it go. Once mastered, it's much easier than carting an airgun about!

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.

Or hold it by the back legs and wrap it round a tree or on the ground.

Haha, it's just as easy to break its neck.
