NEED SOME HELP

[DIGGIT 6]

Hi all

 

I got some new snares to day, just thought i would have a go at the art of snaring, ive never done it befor and would like to learn some thing new.

I got 100 snares and put 50 down, does this look right to you lads that no the game.

 

need all the help i can get thanks.

Hi mate,you don't need the string on the snare when you set them on fences,just tie the snare straight onto the fence.You have done right by cutting the wire to make the catch area bigger.

Have you wrapped the snare around the fence to hold it in postion?.Just use the brass wire as a snare and it will hold it self up.

I am no pro just what i learnt from going up north to woodga's.Somebody on here will put you right.

thanks mate this is all new to me, do you think you can catch more in the open runs or on the fence line because this place is alive with rabbits.

 

Yes i did wrap it around the fence wire.

If I had set that loop, I would set it a little more central, same height.

loose the string and tie the end of the snare to the fence wire using a CLOVE HITCH i wish i could find some runs through tha pig mesh stuff on my permission, they put some in a while ago so its just a waiting game. good luck

thanks for the reply, but why do you need to take the lace off, does it make any odds ???.

tie your wire around the fence wire but put a hitch in it mate

that way it will not come of when the rabbit pulls and it will be there in the morning at 6 am when you check them

 

fence wires are lethal when set right hope this helps

diggit is there any other way of getting rid of the rabbits? ferret them or shoot them? or is a snare the only way?

yeh i can shoot them ferret /run them with the dog, but as old trap collector knows i can work magic with a shot gun and a rifle , but for me it's about getting back to basics and learning this old art, i think alot of us have become to rely on the gun to much and for me theres just no art or skill

in it any more, ive done the 100 to 200 bags of rabbits with the rifle and 200 to 300+ pigeons with the shot gun and over time i think you get fed up with it.

 

Now for to get 100 rabbits in snares, that would blow me away and it also gives me somthing to go for.

 

Well ive not done to bad on my first time out i put 50 snares down and had 23 rabbits in them at 6am today, i also had a visit off my old mate charlie which meant out of the 23 i only had 17, but im going to repay him the complement tonight with a .243 in his head.

MADE A RIGHT OLD MESS, nice run there to

THE FECKER JUST LEFT A FOOT ON THIS ONE
