Dog snaring.

[6pack 60]

Before peeps read this and think anti or against snaring, that isn't the point of this post.

 

What I am looking for is a possible snare to capture a dog.

 

She has been roaming in a small are for over 2 weeks now. No one can get close enough to her to catch her - she is very nervous and slinks away into heavy under growth.

We tried a trap, but the smart girl wouldn't go in.

 

We know she is staying close, eating food regularly put out for her. She watches it placed, watches us walk away and then eats it. We can see her eating it.

 

Is there a trap/snare that can possibly be used to catch this dog?

Or any other ideas any folks may have is gratefully appreciated.

Sounds like a job for the collarum

edited to add that these are available in the UK from several suppliers, although not cheap.

Know anyone with a fox cage? borrow it, bait and wait. Shouldn't take long at all.

She won't fit in a fox cage.

She wouldn't enter the dog trap to release the pedal mechanism.

do you know what breed she is ? poor girl. maybe you can start leaving food in a shed so she gets used to going in somewhere.

She's a lurcher.

She is hiding in a very wooded area close to an estate but won't venture near the estate unfortunately, preferring the safety offered by the dense coverage.

It helps her but really hinders us.

 

We did know where she was bedding down, but heavy rain has caused her to move to a different area.

I'm no tracker lol I just know where she keeps coming for the food we leave her.

i hope you get her. dont want her out in the winter. good luck

keep pouting food out then nexst to the trap then when she gets use to it then in the trap a bit but tiy the door up then in a bit moor then when she go's [bANNED TEXT] in then untiy the door

Another problem we had with the trap was keeping an eye on it.

It cost too much money to leave unattended so it was watched, from a distance, and we think this may have put her off also. She would crane her neck inside to reach the food, but never enough to set the trap off. Dropping the door manually would also not have worked, she wasn't far enough in the trap to jump forward and we would have blown our chances.

I'm in Wigan. If any of you chaps are close enough and able to give any help - I would be very grateful.

Use another dog to bring her in.

Hi, I agree with JohnB, a collarum would be ideal as you already have her feeding, you can get them from Magnum Trap Co ad is in long netting section/sponsors I think or http://protrapper.co.uk/collarum.php, you would need a slightly bigger loop than for fox and as its a lurcher and probably tall would need to set it slightly more raised and tilted than the generic instructions ie a hedge bank and make sure she can only reach bait by being directly in front of the trap and that nothing can tangle the wire ie stakes, fences or you will find her not just held but dead. The Yanks use them for large canines but their model might have wider arms holding the wire? I'm not sure.

 

Good luck

She just slinks away at all our attempts so far.
