snareman 3 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Go to a craft shop and buy this it's copper coated steelwire. gerjan instead of playing around at snaring use proper snares , and get to it , and do it properly , to many on this site are kid on merchants , always wanting to know where to get the stuff , and when told where to get proper snares , they don,t want tp pay for them, then they go and buy cheap sh#te and wonder how they can,t get big kills of rabbits , remember we are dealing with animals here therefore the humane factor should always come first .

Little Butch 16 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well said, but whats wrong with people wanting wire so they canj make their own snares mate ? Butch Quote Link to post
snareman 3 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well said, but whats wrong with people wanting wire so they canj make their own snares mate ?Butch there is no problem about asking for wire , but for the humane factor use the proper rabbit snare wire , good snaremen on this site have repeatedly told certain individuals where to purchase quality rabbit snarewire , these individuals phone up and waste time asking knowing fullwell that they do not want to pay for good snares or wire , they would rather spend money other ways , but continually ask again and again where to get rabbit snarewire , once again for the thousands time don,t purchase picture wire , and some of these other thin cheap wire,s to try and snare with , use the proper stuff , 0.457 brass wire, make good six strand snares , and practice with them . cheap crap wire isn,t as pliable and snaps more readily , and the last thing thats needed is rabbits running around with broken snares on their necks, therefore try and work in a professional and more humane manner, rather than it being a cost cutting cheap excersize, Quote Link to post

I prefer use rig material for pike fishing 40lb or cable from bike gears so it isn't shity crap but always not as good as your snares. Gerjan Edited May 19, 2008 by gerjan Quote Link to post

Gerjan who in their right mind is going to piss around with bike cable to snare rabbits . its obvious your a rank amateur. Quote Link to post
