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! James 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. not for this man obviously. i can break their necks with the 1 hand my boy. Haha, i was just looking at snaring laws for England and i just discovered that you're not alowed to atatch the snares to fences, well i have never heard of that before. Quote Link to post

I've seen people on here before put pictures on here with snares attatched to the fence and nothing has ever been made of it, but i alwways snare on the ground. Best way and it's probably easier.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The only time I've had a rabbit break its neck in a snare is when a Badger has pulled its head off before I've picked it up Quote Link to post
Yokel Matt 918 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I don't think i've ever read so much pish in the snaring section! Quote Link to post
