Amateur snaring

[micky 3,325]

Right, i went back last night and caught nothing, so set some more for overnight and..................nothing again!

Im not sure if im doing anything wrong or if its just bad luck as there are plenty rabbits here. Im setting the snares about 4 fingers high and making sure the tealers are not on the runs themselves.

Im also worried about catching cats, im guessing it can happen and there are a couple of cats in the vicinity.

Any help from you experts?

I did have a look out with my rifle and shot roughly 20 which was ok but i would have swapped all 20 for one in the snare.

f**k the cats mate,stick with it,from what your saying,ie,4 fingers high,spot on,iv always set mine to this and never had any problems, typically with snaring around my way,it seems all or nothing,keep at it,although the odd pheasant isnt un-common

No problems ,and not many rabbits either ,Trappa,read Glen Waters articles on setting snares,his instructions are easy to follow ,and very clear,stick with him and you soon catching a few

Get them wires up mate all this four finger high stuff is bollocks you want them at around 6 inch on open runs even higher if the grass is long.

Or go on a snaring course with a master P&G

I went back this morning and still no rabbits in the snare, gutted to be honest. Ive took them up as i wont get back tonight but i will be back, my failure is making me more positive that i need to master it.

it takes time and just when you do mr fox steals them all so you may want to put bells on them it works for me also try the runs heading straight towards the hedge as apposed to along it these seem to work better for me and look for where there steping an hopping and set them over the higher bit this also works better

dont listen to watchmen he doesnt know what hes talking, about read the pinned articles and by woodgas DVD.

sorry mate,yeah your right,never caught a rabbit in a snare before,must try harder to know it all,forgot if you dont do it and follow the crowd your wrong,but hey you know better,at least i know where to get wire for tealers you cock,you sorted out your insulation yet for your kennels,god help us

watchmen id be suprised if you had ever snared a rabbit in your life, and by the way mate got the Kennels sorted and got some fence wire so i can make my own snares. its not following the band wagon its just the best way of doing it, if you want nocked snares and to waste youre time carry on doing it 4 fingers high, if not read the pinned articles and get your snares up higher. once youve got the the nack of setting them right it will really improve your catch rate.

ok,firstly as a youngster i would regularly set snares at a local hot spot with very good results,the snares were checked twice a day,on the way to school on my bike,i would then hand my catch over to the old man at the school gates whilst he dropped off my younger brother,not hundreds, usually 15/20 snares was all i had,then checked again before last light,agree 4 fingers was prob not the exact height but not going to retract that statement it was a rough guideline,if its wrong then ok,but it worked for me,and yes more than willing to agree if i had set them slightly higher my catch rate may well have increased,glad you got your kennels and wire for tealers sorted
