non target speices

what do you guys do when you catch a badger or otter in a snare ? iv seen them both in action and i would not want to deal with one .

 

i know this is a sencative topic but i think we can be open about the reality that it does and can happen..

Caught a stripey in a wire years ago, managed to hold him down with a 2 pronged hay fork,cut the wire and let him go unharmed! He wasnt very pleased though!

Modern methods of fox snaring stops any kind of none target animals being snared accidently and suffering.A very simple attachement added to a fox snare called a BRAKEAWAY has stopped ALL animal suffering because this small attachement is just strong enough to hold a fox but no where near strong enough to hold an otter, deer or badger.When using a BREAKAWAY in conjunction with a DEER STOP a modern fox snare is very target specific and a MUST in professional fox control

When i am setting snares in areas where there is even a slim chance of catching a none target animal like a badger i fit BREAKAWAYS to all my snares. Fitting brakeaways and deer stops insures that snaring men can carry on doing the thing we love well into the future and ALL fox snarers should do everything they can so one of our best method of fox control doesnt get banned.............................

Nice one P&G.

 

Not being a snaring man, do you have a piccie of a breakaway in action, to satisfy my curiosity.

 

Cheers
