right, i am new to the whole hunting scene and that, i have a shotgun and a ferret, and i was concedering that snares would give me a new way of hunting in the area i live.but i havent a clue were to start.

firstly, should i buy or make my own snares? if i hav to make them wat should they be made out of and how will they look? and how should they be presented ?

secondly, if this snare scheme ever works how often should they be cheked and are they affected by and weather conditions?

thanks any help welcome

 

(i live in an are with fields and a large wood which rabbit runs can clearly be seen)

hi [bANNED TEXT],

im also quite new to the snaring game i had a word with my [bANNED TEXT] who is an old poacher and a pro at every hunting he does , he says to bury the snares underground for 2-3 weeks to stop them shining and to get the musty scent then to get the snare the right hight use a stick with a split in it and put the wire in the split it should be about 2 inches of the ground

You wont go far wrong if you book a 2day course with Peg And Gun

Good money well spent

 

Before i went i was, what did you say peg, "a hopeless rabbit snarer, a useless fecking tart from ....." "and with in five hours im getting better"

 

 

but a couple of answers. YES the weather conditions affect it.

You need to check snares legally once a day. but you better checking them morning. and just before dark, so you can take any rabbits out and re-set any bumped snares

 

My first nights snaring with P&Gs tuition i snared 14 rabbits and four hares.

The day after i got back i set some snares and got 4 rabbits & 1 hare. but the night was shite.

 

 

 

Is that all?

when P&G came up to Scotland to go snaring with me, he snared over in 3 days. plus he caught a pure white rabbit, the lucky big b***%*d

all depends on the terrain, grass/reed etc... length

[DEL 5]

Depends on the grass height and if its a fence snare then set it at 2 inches

Set a minimum of 51/2" on very short grass and up to 12" in very long grass/corn etc.Rough grass anywhere from 61/2"-8".

Great white hunter.....tell your mate to stop talking shite and come on one of my snaring courses
