micky 3,325 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 you cannot see why I placed the snare where it is but where would you put it? 2 Quote Link to post
The one 8,512 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Well it did the job where you put it but on a run that long you could of put another one just this side of the tramline Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) On such a fabulous field run, I always try to set on the smallest beat ..indeed,..on such a well used travelway. I would usually lay more than one snare.... Been a long while since I caught a rabbit though,...so I might well be wrong... Edited April 24, 2017 by Phil Lloyd 1 Quote Link to post

Pirate 9000 676 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Snare wants to be 5 to 6 inch of the ground on that type of set big loop and set right over the smallest beat,and you will get Tex book catch every time. 1 Quote Link to post

MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Snare wants to be 5 to 6 inch of the ground on that type of set big loop and set right over the smallest beat,and you will get Tex book catch every time. Snare needs to be set on the smallest beat at 7-71/2 inch....hoop snares are deadly on ground like this? Quote Link to post
MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 This hoop was set on the same type of ground,then the snow came 3 Quote Link to post
MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The rabbits on this field was using the tyre track as a run,ground was a bit soft for a peg but the hoops held well. 3 Quote Link to post
