taken from another thread:

set your snares early to try and get any scent off them rub your hands on some grass or dockleaves or dry soil to remove your smell look at the runs and follow the beats this is where the rabbit puts its feet as it travells along its run as it goes out to feed. set your snare over the centre of a beat not in between as some would tell you no.gif on pasture land your snare should be set at 6.5 inches to the bottom of the loop look along the run as you set your wires looking out onto the feild the way the rabbit is travelling dont have your snare to far over the run as this will result in missed rabbits and make sure you have a marker pin to show you where your snares are obviously there is more than what i have said to snaring tensioning the wire cocking the eye ect ect but i dont want to confuse you hope this basic guide helps oh to get the correct setting hight place your little finger on the beat spread your hand and set your snare just above your thumb smile.gif one more thing the higher the crops or grass you snare in the higher you want your snare to be off theground good hunting all woodga ph34r.gif
