Snare markers

[TWOTWOTHREE 152]

Hi all

Just wondering what methods you guys use to Mark your fence of peg wires, I use the tail feathers of the cockrells that ive saved from the malt and just push them in to the ground a yard or so from the peg snares or i put a small

piece if blue bailer twine on the top wire above

the fence wires set below with a granny not, nothing fancy but effective, how about you guys?

same as old moley you never miss a wire with the orange tape on top

do you need markers? i thought you would put snares on runs and count them out.. checking all runs on the fence line and count them back in..

 

i dont snare maybe just as well eh

markers are there to make sure you don,t miss a wire, i wouldn,t use them if i only had a handfull to check , but if your on with a couple hundred snares over a large area , then markers are essential, it also depends on the the terrain, even on fairly open ground its easy to miss an un marked wire never mind some of the stuff i set snares on

 

at the end of the day its personnel preference, but try explaining to the keeper or a farmer when they find summit in your wires a few days after you pulled them

 

and lamperman , less of the old, i,m still a young buck at heart

i didnt think of putting out large numbers... never mind, i did say i dont set snares

I always use markers no matter how many i set, normaly a feather pushed in the ground or a stick with tape on pointing towards the snare fence snares i'll use bailer twine or tape again.

.

feather in the ground ?? ..a part time mole catcher on her ,also in some mole trapping websites used to use feathers to mark his mole traps ????.. anyway he lost all the markers in Feb when crows nests built lol.. i use spray paint.the type for sports grounds etc.. but when u think how few rabbits here guess can be done with memory.. but i'm knocking on now so paint maybe.

Excellent trap markers at a good price in various sizes to suite. I just wrapped a small piece of red insulation tape around the loop of them and they are ideal when setting large numbers of Snares/ Mole traps.
