Snare supports

[Wolfdog91 7,374]

Figured I'd share since I made a few of these up the other day. Their about 14" tall and made out of 1/4" cold roll and about 2' of #9 anneled wire.They work pretty good with the support collars I use on my snares though you need to make them a bit taller for dealing with mud

This is the STANDARD  ( TEELER)  For a Rabbit Snare 2Mill Galv Wire about 10 inches long     THE SAME STANDARD IS ALSO USED  FOR FOX SNARES  BUT WITH THICKER WIRE AND AT THE HEIGHT THAT YOU PREFER   , THIS RIG WILL GIVE YOU GOOD STABILITY + DISCRETION , AND LESS CLUTTER THAN YOUR RIGS APPEAR TO HAVE ………...WOODGA'S GHOST SNARES

Interesting  so are these adjuatible ? And can you replace  your snare after your catch ? Seems yours I ment to stay attached after the catch where as mine gets pulled off. Also you guys use use wire instead of cabkeof right ? Anyway that can be loaded to shut on its own like cable ?

If it work for you that's great but I think I'd destroy that teller trying to drive it in some of the ground I have.  Here's a few more pics of mine. Really like there's because their kinda universal. Can slip on a coon,beaver,fox or coyote snare  and just readjust the height because the wire is anneled you can bed it about any way you want. Also the support collar let's me cant my snare so its the smae andle as the ground.

^^^picture is my snare setup currently. 18" wolffang earth anchor a 1/16th 1x19 twist snare toothed camlock 600lbs barrel swivel and a regular snare swivel  then a 3'-10' 3/32nd 7x7 extension cable. Covers about all my bases and the only thing I have to carry is my hammer stake driver and supports. Can either stake in the ground or run the extension around a tree ,somthing or extesion off tho my cable stake so i can get to harder ground.  Seems like alot but i can fit a dozen or so of these set ups in a fanny pack and just carry the driver and hammer in my hands. 

And this is showing the support collar the wire.

Yea you can put tension into the wire used over here for rabbits an stuff mate, it’s usually 6 strand copper

Any specific reason it's copper ? Seems it would get a little expensive after a while

Wolfdog91 Don't get confused here. The brass wire is only used for rabbit snaring. I know rabbit snaring is done different over there. Do you even have rabbits in your area?

Here is an old thread which shows two types of fox tealers which are used here. A more traditional type, and the ghost snare concept.

Yes actually have two varieties in my state,  regular cottonntails and larger swamp rabbits depending where you are in the state.  And as far as snaring rabbits, meh it's just somthing most generally don't do. I know alot if folks in northern states do it as kids  and the survivalist crowd is big into it but generally just not really a thing for various reasons. How ever we do snare about everything elese ( well depending in state laws that is). Possum,racoon, mink,muskrats,nutria,red fox ,grey fox,coyote,wolf,wild hogs, and beaver are the normal ones. Then you got some states that only allow cable restraints then some states it's lethal all day and so on and so on.

Now I read through the link ,Thank you by the way, and I'm still a little confused.  I get the general ideal of the traditional tealerbut not so much with the ghost. Seems it's just a tealr pained green ? Then one of the pictures had it kinda set up like mine with the snare on a support collar. But possibly I just missed some stuff. Also from what I read it seems once you make them that's the set height you have to use ,theirs no adjustment  in the field seems like it could be kinda a pain in the field.

When an animal is caught in a snare it will struggle !this will cause the Wire to heat up and soften  which can lead to the Wire breaking  so to counteract this Brass Wire is used because it loses heat quickly thus preserving the Snare which can be used for up to a dozen catches  Brass Wire can also be tensioned  to hold itself in the desired shape so that if it is brushed against by another animal or Bird it will spring back to its initial setting and shape but once the Rabbit has its head in the Wire and pulls it will transfer the tension to the other end of the Wire which will then stop the loop re opening .

You just have to adjust the angle that the Teeler is set  ! people over here  keep things simple and use Materials and Methods that have worked well for hundreds of years and see no reason to re invent the Wheel .
