adam1 2 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm looking into doing a bit of snareing for rabbits and was curios if anyone has had any problems with breakaway snares, i would far sooner use these because although non target animals are unlikley i'd sooner be safe than sorry they seem like they're the safeguard i'm looking for but is there a down side to them. Also can you tell me who i can contact to buy them ( by phone cos i dont buy anything over the internet, tecnoligy scares me ) thanks Adam Quote Link to post
