Thank you. For years I have read about how 'in a survival situation, you can snare game' with a few hand drawn pictures. They make it look WAY too easy and the whole 'wolf eating your rabbit' is totally ignored. It seems one needs specialized tools and PRACTICE to actually do this.

I have never had rabbit meat but have been homeless and wondered how to catch them on many a hungry night when there was no other foods available to me. I had access to all of what I would've needed but had no idea it was so simple. Thank you for your video I will try these methods if I ever find myself homeless in the woods again

Everything you have done in this video is spot on apart of a minor detail (and the reason the foxes get the rabbits first). You have better chances of getting the rabbit first if the end of the snare is tied onto a 2-3 feet long branch or something that the rabbit can pull for 10-20 feet but big enough to get tangled onto the surrounding vegetation. By doing this the rabbit feels safer hidden close to your trap area and doesn't cry from the stress of being caught in the snare attracting foxes and other predators

Finally a useful explanation. This is the only video on KZfaq so far explaining a hare snare correctly. Thank you.

I always made my loops the size of my fist and 2 fingers from the floor. This as always worked for me and I have caught 1000's like this.

I agree that the laws with respect to brass or stainless steal wire is here "picture wire" doesn't make a lot of sense. We have all sorts of issues with hare breaking the wire because it's simply too weak to do the job properly. So now we have a bunch of hare running around with broken wire around their necks. But I guess, that's not for us to talk about because it won't change anything. I look forward to your developments Tim on the "picture wire" solution. Now that we know what a proper snare looks like, now we need a legal way to properly snare them. I should also mention that these hare are the only legal animal we're permitted to hunt with just a small game license so it's a good way to get started. Other animals require a special trappers permit. Thanks again Tim, I hope to keep this going and do another trial and hopefully be successful!

Thank you learned a lot from this video. What really helped me was seeing the miss on the original video, so you could see what the problems were, then when you demonstrated the corrections it made it easy to see why your corrections made sense.

One of the best videos I seen about this!

This is a great informational video. This video alone got my subscription

Great video! I loved the tip towards the end about making a snare support especially.

Excellent video, I learned alot about the support of a snare. Thank you

I have snared rabbit all my life in Newfoundland Canada and have found everyone has methods that work. I found your video made some good points. Cheers.

Thanks for all the help your vids are so educational and amazing keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍

Your information and presentation is so good. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge.

Very good intel mate.Thank you for this information.Big thumbs up !

Pure Gold thanks alot this will be put to use shortly

Great info. Your set up will also reduce the snares being shook down by wind gusts.

Great information sir thanks 👏🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿I've not tried to snare rabbits for years but I mite give it a go now you've instilled a bit of positive info

Thanks you for the video it was very educational on the do's and don'ts on how the snare should be supported I too like to use the number 9 wire it really works out well

I watched videos all day yesterday on snaring and this is probably the best one I've seen. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Just subscribed to you channel. I am a professional trapper 34 years trapping, I do it for government and private people besides a personal trap line. I enjoyed you video very top notch, I even learned a new trick.. Tight chains.

Great information, I really appreciate your information/videos. Thanks. Joe

I really appreciate your information in the videos

another great video. thanks for the knowledge.

Very good information. Very thorough and interesting.

Thank you sir. that was a great video!

Good info meat trapper

You literally just helped me figure out so much to be able to provide for my family in case of an emergency I’m very thankful for your video and you were very detailed and I appreciate you sir thank you so much I just subscribe to you and I just got so educated I was able to buy and purchase what I want in an educated manner and I also came up with a couple other ideas I want to send you in a private message based on my own experience

That’s very helpful, thank you!

Thanks for the great video. Much appreciated. Take care.

Thanks buddy. Just bought my first snares. I have never trapped. Yet. Thanks again. Hull Mass

Yeah Tim, make a video on the all in one rabbit snare

you guys are doing super work.

Caught some in my in new zealand really effective thanks

Superb advise Sir! thank you.

Great video, thanks

Just like the rest of your videos AWESOME!!!!

Glad you did this video! I cant stand the brass wire we are "supposed" to use here in Canada. Its inhumane because fox and other incidentals get caught in it all the time and break the snare but the wire stays around their neck half the time. At least with a cable snare you can put on a break away, so when something comes down to a moral issue and government law is forcing me to do something immoral I always choose to do the morally right thing whether the government approves or not!

Ty much for sharing your techniques. I appreciate the time

Good info,i appreciate your custom options,it would be awesome if you had a game camera like Chris's to view your snare in action.Those are very teachable moments,thanks for the share.

Awesome video!

Great video!

Definitely using this in my future videos!

Awesome video! Thanks

I learned a new idea

Just subscribed Good advice Thanks for sharing

LOVE the u-shaped setup. looking forward to more tips. Thank you

Spot on mate👍🏼

Thanks for that very informative video

This was a really informative video and I greatly appreciate it even though I have not gotten into any snares for trapping season I think this is inspiring me to give it a try next year

I never targeted rabbits because I was always after $$$ fur when I was trapping. My rabbit catches were accidental in Bobcat snares. One incident that stands out was years ago when I was river trapping by boat. I had set up a woods for cats near the boat ramp and about a week later , a friend was rabbit hunting in the same area. He told me that the dogs were running a red hot rabbit and came right thru in front of him and his buddy when all of a sudden the rabbit and both dogs got caught in snares right in front of him. He said it beat all he'd ever seen.

Tiny bells attached to the wire may help you get to your catch before other predators as long as your in earshot and willing to pull yourself out of your tent

Very good video enjoyed it

I have used why are sneakers in the past to catch pigs but you’re right the snare has to be supported. The hog trails we’re going through some pretty thick pine trees real small young trees so i used electrical tape and tape them to a small branch on each side of the trail and they would walk right into it

I got rabbits in my garden. I’ve had enough.

Great info. Thank you sir.

Old timers here would craft box traps for rabbits. I guess I never realised why, until you mentioned the predators eating your rabbit before you got back. Thanks

Thank you. That was real helpful. I have to snare a groundhog because I can never get a clear shot at him!

Just subscribed to your channel, I really love all the positive comments you get from everyone!! Keep up the good work!! What state are you in!??

great video thanks for the tips gave you a sub

Hi, perhaps another factor in Northern snaring is extreme cold. At -20 to -40 the rabbits are always running to keep warm so we typically use twigs to fence in an open on the trail, chin up and head down twigs. I do think the modern snare is more humane at quickly dispatching the animal. Also like the use of wire for both anchoring and supporting the set. Good video, thank you. Steve, Manitoba

Great video. Thanks bro. No wonder i wasn't catching rabbits

Thanks! Not sure how this would workout in NW Arkansas where I live - coyotes and other predators all over the place, but a great instructional video!

Nice video. Thanks

Thanks TMT.

Nice video . always interesting to see other people's style of snaring. my rabbit snares are half that size.

Thanks. Don't forget to go back in time when you were perhaps in the Boy Scouts, and it was the baton/notch and sapling system that ruled.

Very useful, thank you sir.

Good job and thank you

Great info

GREAT JOB BROTHER KEEP TEACHING I'M STILL LEARNING GOD BLESS

Buddy, what a trap! I love it!

Good info. Now all you need is some predator traps around that fresh bait! LOL

When I was doing pest control we used 2x6s to guide Armadillos and skunks into the cage traps.

Here in the UK we use 6 strand brass wire with eyelet and have a 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 inch loop and set 6 1/2 inch high using a wire tealer for support .That is for setting in short grass

Fantastic at educating

I’ve never shared a rabbit before but I’m going to give it a try. Thank you for such detailed information.

Great advice! now if it was only legal to snare anything other than beavers in my state.

Thank you. This was super useful and Interisting. I've been wondering about how to make simple traps and snares for a while now

Thank you

Great vid for me...ty

Good rabbit traps.

Well done👌

Thank you. God bless.

Just build a snare attached to a sapling that will activate to lift the rabbit off ground so foxes and others can't reach!👊🤠👍

Great video. I'm going to check out WB's channel too.

I used to snare both the rabbits and the guinea fowl back in the days, I was only 16 yrs. We'd catch about 3 rabbits a day. But we were using aircraft wires of course.

Hi, loved your video. Do you have a list of items needed to make one please. Thanks

Well done video. My only real criticism is the size of your loop. I’ve been snaring snowshoe hare since I was in primary school here in Canada, so I’ve got four decades of snaring & trapping experience under my belt. In my experience, a loop that large will result in body/stomach caught, or live caught animals. If the quarry were larger or larger-eared like a desert jackrabbit I’m sure loop size wouldn’t be an issue. Obviously, your mileage may vary, but nevertheless, still really enjoying your videos.👍🏻🍻😀

I used to have a problem with mice eating on my snowshoe hares after they died and were in the snare, I started to use a toss pole with a toggle and that ended that problem, wondering if that could help you.

If the rabbit is squealing, it’s a body snare, not around it’s neck. Means the loop is too large.

So the swivel is just so the animal can’t spin around and around and break the wire off and run away to die with a the wire around it’s neck somewhere you can’t find it?

Conibear with a plate trigger might work great I'm definitely not a seasoned trapper but maybe it would work.

Tin cans are one of the best inventions man ever made almost as good as when God made man. Tie some cans on your stick to alarm you when the snare goes off, now you know about your catch the moment they are caught and can go get your food before something else steals it from you.

like it. you make sense

I plan on getting the survival kit with the three traps #110's

I made both of those mistakes trying to snare the ground hogs that are my garden. I was wondering if you had any other tips for snaring them. I was so mad they ate my entire garden all throughout the growing season.

So by the time a rabbit or whatever pulls that tight, what part of the animal usually gets caught in the snare?

Thank you, sir. I will try this. I really want to learn to snare some rabbits!
