fence snaring rabbits

[ellir0305 9]

i have done a bit a peg snaring and a couple of snares on stranded wire fencing

 

but snaring through pig fencing seems to be really successful, and i have found a few runs on the farm.

 

i know that people cut a wire to increase the kill zone, but my main question ias which one? is it the one that the rabbit normally hops over (so is dirty from their belly) or the one above this??

 

thanks

Look at the vegetation either side of the fence, look for the signs, you don't always need to cut a fence, you can snare a mesh as it is using a smaller loop, or you can stretch the mesh and contort the fence angle and to your requirement... Signs include fur on strands, mud, worn/flattend areas in front and behind mesh, nail marks on branches, etc...

 

An example here slightly enlarged mesh...

yeah, think i can start snaring again soon after lifting them for the breeding season, the babys are getting bigger and my freezer emptier so might start. as for foxes, i might try snaring so me on my permission as the farmers getting fed up with them (hes a rubbish shot lol) plenty of good runs and can you fence snare them too. and then whats the best dispatching tool rimfire .22 or a shotgun?
