Albert Ladd 0 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 We could for a time snare coyote here in Maine. I'd catch moose around the ankle nearly dayly with as small as 1/16 1x19 cable "Wire" We didn't use stops, but had the "S" hook 280lb. pull rated releases. The moose would always open the release and get out. Only one time did I have a moose standing there when I entered the area. Young bull with the idea of planting a hoof in my skull everytime i got near. With 2 to 3 ft of snow it wasn't a fun time. I'm sure that I could have held these moose, Or most of them! if it wasn't for that release attached. The 280 lb was too much for neck snared deer. So the state had us go to 110 lb. Had our doubts for holding coyote that will go 60 lbs but I never lost one. And the only deer i did catch that year did break free. Never new if it was neck snared or caught by the leg. Just thought you trappers might be interested in this info! Quote Link to post
pegandgun 52 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Very interested Hornhunter,thanks Quote Link to post
Coote 5 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Very interesting thanks Hornhunter. I am particularly fascinated to learn that big animals can be so easily caught by the leg in a snare like you've been using. How big is the coyote noose, and how high off the ground is the bottom of the noose? How many coyote snares would you typically have set overnight? And one last question... who would you recommend as a good supplier of reasonably-priced steel traps and other supplies? Thanks and best wishes.... Coote Quote Link to post
Albert Ladd 0 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Coote, Top of the noose is about 2 ft.high. Bottom is 10 to 12 inches off the ground or depth of hit's foot in snow. The amount of snares would depend on the amount of snaring locations I'd have. Normally each would be baited ahead of time. Some areas i'd have as many as 20 snares out. Some places onlu 6. It dpended on the set location. At one time i had a total of around or 90 snares out. We have some large suppliers that are real reliable Prices are about the same among them. Sterling fur Co. 11268 Frick Rd. Sterling, Ohio 44276 Tel# 330-939-3763 fax# 330-939-5135 The Snare Shop 858 E. US Hwy 30 Carroll. Ia 51401 www.snareshop.com E-mail: sshop@snareshop.com Snare shop has the most snaring equiment. Sterling has the more traps. Both are real great. Quote Link to post
