fixed fence snares

[badgeroy 3]

Ian, so am i wrong fence snaring rabbits? If this is right, the Government is f****d and these anti's need to be educated more. It's better a rabbit being hung which will be more then likely a quick death then snaring on the ground where the rabbit could be there for at the most 24 hours untill you next check it. I think the Government need to sort their selves out.

 

Snares should be checked twice a day, max 12 hours.

 

That's not the law in England. It's atleast once every 24 hours. My snares do get checked dawn and dusk, but the law is once every 24 hours.

 

I did'nt say it was law i just said they should be checked max every 12 hours

(to comply with Best Practice) as well as for the quarry but for your own benefit so the carcass does'nt get raided and stripped by vermin.

Good point Badger, especially if your selling them it's sometimes best to check more than every 12 hrs if schedules permit.

I used to prefer fence snaring for foxes,found it more productive,12 in one week being my best tally. Dont bother doing it now though.
