Basically if you can see the runs just treat it like a grass field. I think you would have to use the GSW type snare set up as anything else would be a bit obvious. Take care pal, ian.

Rolfe 2 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 As long as you can see the rabbit runs you can set a wire anywhere.......but always set ON the beats and not between them, yes you can catch rabbits between the beats.........but this is not the correct place to set a wire for consistant catches. Obviously on grassland the rabbit runs are far more distinct than on plough or drilled fields. Rolfe. Quote Link to post
snareman 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 as long as you can see there run and there hop you can set them between each hop as you would set in a grass field you can set snares anywhere there are runs , i snare them running up the vertical faces of dry stone walls at times its quite easy onece you gain experience . and you don,t set snares between the beats , you set them right across the middle of the beat .
