few snares

[alec_brickie 1]

i just got back from setting my first 10 snares. i tryed to follow al ive read on this site. the main problem i had was the ground i set them on is coverd in rabbits and rabbit runs and the problem was that i really couldnt see the beats they were more of a solid line but i set them as best as i could so we will have to wait and see what morning brings.

usually thats a blessing but i know what you mean. you will soon start to see the beats as it gets colder they will "burn" into the grass. good luck keep us posted.

Hi Alec, just set the runs as if they were beats, sometimes they're like that. Woodga very kindly pointed out to you not to expect much when it's frosty. There are topnotch snarers on this site who will keep you right. Snareman and Woodga are awesome, and catch unbelievable amounts of rabbits. Good snaring. ian.

Aye there's an awful lot to learn on here, I've snared in an amateur pot hunter way all my life, but these guys opened my eyes, and you'll find them very helpful, though some things are so obvious to them, they might not think it worth mentioning, so anything you're not sure of just ask. You'll get a reply, and if it's not correct, someone will correct whoever wrote it. Seems to be the way it works.
