HOW WOULD YOU LOT GO ABOUT SETTING A SNARE ON A BUNKER WHICH IS RAKED SMOOTH EVERY DAY ? I AWAIT YOU FELLAS ANSWERS ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Hi DUCKWING, I know Glenn is sending you a pm, so you will know by now how to go about it. I just felt I would like to try a go. I am not a very experienced fox snarer, but when after them, I've had a few. If I'd to try snaring a fox in a bunker, I'd set the snare in the deepest bit of the bunker, with the outside of the snare touching the bunker face, with the hope that foxy would nose along scenting for other foxes. You could hide peg and wire in the sand with just a wire tealer and the snare in the darkest place. Am I anywhere near a plan? Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Duckwing, I wouldn't mind betting that snareman has a similar notion to what I PM'd you earlier It is the easiest and most obvious way!! Remember those words - 'simplicity catches the wariest of predators' OTC Quote Link to post
DUCKWING 302 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 WELL LADS , IAM SURE BOTH THEM METHODS WOULD CATCH ......... HOWEVER THE INTERESTING THING IS ............. GETTING THE FOX TO TRAVEL A RUN WHICH YOU WANT IT TO TRAVEL ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post
black bird 1 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 did you ever catch eny duck wing Quote Link to post
snareman 3 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 did you ever catch eny duck wing if he didn,t i will be giving him ten of the belt, as my instructions are fool proof, when snaring them in this type of location, its absolutely simple and deadly, as i always say the simplest of sets take the most wary of predators. there is one thing i can honestly say is that they would never be caught with the new best practice,s advice.

GETTING THE FOX TO TRAVEL A RUN WHICH YOU WANT IT TO TRAVEL ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Ithink the fox would happiest on the smooth sand , so i would leave him just enough to walk down and disturb the rest, BINGO Quote Link to post
