Guest mavisdog Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) below are 2 pictures of how i attatch my snares to hoops, using electrical tape is a pain in the arse, no good if its wet and want to renew the tape it dont stick etc. not reliable, the method my dad showed me years back lasts a life time, its fully adjustable, i use 1.5mm wire on 2.5mm HT hoop wire, hope it may help some one or if you have`t the time i let me make them for you, MORE DETAILS ETC ON MY WEB SITE http://craftpestcontrol.tripod.com/id25.html cheers rob Edited November 20, 2008 by mavisdog Quote Link to post
snareman 3 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 the wire hoop snare has been around for 70 years, straightforward and simple , a length of wire bent into a U shape , pushed into the ground over a rabbit run, a snare systems beauty is its simplicity, thats how its so effective in the first place, i have personally never used electrical tape there is no need to although some lads like it , its really is a simple job to keep the snare sitting steady on a hoop, without any added garbage, such as wire turns, because the minute a rabbit or hare is caught, the wrap themselves around the two wire legs which really are a double kill pole, therefore any swivel system is immediately nullified, rendering it useless , iwas taught this system over 40 years ago by chisholm, who used it to control hare numbers, over the scottish hills. all the northern keepers used the hoop snares , to control hares this way, as its so simple to make a hoop snare for wire can be found on old fences , around farm yards , dumps etc. for absolutely free , so all you need is the hoop, made for nothing, a 30 pence snare, and your in business .

woodga 170 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 reinventing the wheel i use tape to hold the snare loop in strong gales iv seen them spin off the run , but as snareman has stated you do not need to use any holding device thats just my choice and was never a component of a hoop snare simplicity is the name of the game why make it complicated .

john b 38 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 funny thing is i have had many pms praising the holder, yet the people had stated in their pms they dont want to reply just to get slated Well that's a real shame Come on guys, I don't want this section going the same way as the dog sections have. Anyone who has a view should voice it - I can't promise people will agree with you but that shouldn't stop you. If people are using bits and pieces like this and finding them useful don't be afraid to say so. The value of a forum like this is the range and depth of the information and experience from lifetime experts to beginners. Personally I like the neatness of this holder but can see some potential issues with it too. Not having done much hoop snaring and never used one I'm in no position to comment though.

I have used the holder for years, havent come across any potentional issuses as of yet, and cant see why, its the same as putting a snare on a fence wire etc, but its on a hoop, does the same thing, all i can say is instead of people commenting on it or knocking it , is give it a try, then give some feed back. they are easy to make its a shame the other people like you johnb, dont feel the same way as you do etc, thanks john cheers rob Edited November 25, 2008 by mavisdog Quote Link to post

Guest mavisdog Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Any non target species etc can get snared, thats the down side of snaring its not 100% safe for non target species. and that could happen with any type of snare or hoop etc, unless a break-away and that still can capture. the holder is just for the wire to thread thru,so give presentation easly & correctly, the snare it-self would still need to be tied or crimped cheers rob Edited November 25, 2008 by mavisdog Quote Link to post
