Snares and Traps

[wazaaap]

I have been working on perfecting some snares from scrach - the figure four is great for dead falls but i cant seem to master it and allready have had my fingers hurt lol.

anyone know of any others and want to discuss?

Trying out a couple of spring snares at the moment myself to see how effective they are. All new to me . I also tried some ordinary loop snares, but haven,t managed to get the setting right, as the target keeps pushing by them, so there,s something I,m not doing right. But practise makes perfect.

Buy a rat trap from the local hardware store, nail it to a tree about 7' up the trunk, bait it with peanut butter and set it. Check morning and night. Works great for squirrels!

Master the art of the toggle based trap. You can use a toggle from anything from a log fall trap to a bow trap. Bow traps fun to try.

You can find a few books on trapping, snares, bows and survival on scribd: www.scribd.com

Good call but reliant on bate. Sanares etc, though harder can be used bate free if you set em right.

I have a few survival books on making snares and traps and, if it wasn`t for this inclement weather, I`d certainly make them in nearby woodland then of course remove them.
