sorry njplotts, your right. i know a buddy had a hard time in the state woods this year with dogs. but most of his problems were with the housing development across the street. they ride in the car as the dog gets his walk. i used to run fox with a guy, he hated snares. some of the **** hound guys don't like us. but i'm legal and have rights. i see alot of hard fellings on other sites about snares. but alot of states allow dispatch springs, a neck caught dog doesn't fare well. sorry about the generalization of houndsmen.

If you have been around this stuff all your life why would you make such an ignorant comment?
I promise I never will. I can spell.
I used to trap, fox, *****, mink and muskrat, all with leg holds in the 70's, highschool days, I made a good buck, fox was going for 60-80 bucks a pelt
***** 20-30, rats were $4-7
I'd appreciate any advice on setting snares, I'd like to get back into it and show my son how great trapping is, you really need to learn how to think like an animal, be sent free and must learn about the animals habitat and traits, and you see some amazing things being in the woods at day break while checking your traps.
Any books or advice on snares?

you got it. it's like trolling dogs. also guys near the dog training areas, i said near, not in.
i would get Newt Sterlings master racoon snaring. it shows everything for the newbe. making snares, making swivel jigs, basic sets, actual catches. very good video also in paper back i think.

Too funny Franco!
Is that blood in the coyote pic? How did that happen? I heard coyotes will chew their leg off if snared? true/false?

Snares catch critters by the neck or body.
The six inch deer stop would prevent them from getting caught by the foot.
And ..NO...they don't chew their leg off in a trap either !!!

ub, nice job .. I used to go with pop to check his traps all the time.. He loved to trap.. it is truly a labor of love..he would spend hours skinning and fleshing animals, especialy beaver... He had a racoon coat made for mom out of the animals he caught, skinned, fleshed, and tanned himself.. he frequently got highest grade at auction..

pop did catch a small doe once WITH the deer stop.. Man That was a sight to see watching him tackle the deer to let it go.. I also got bit once by an otter tha pop accidently caught in a snare that we released.. That wasnt fun..
that is blood. a lot of times a animal focues on a object. they chew on sticks, rocks ect. i think it's something they do when stressed. the grey fox pic shows the same thing. a snare catches by the neck, not foot. even with a leg hold, i'm told the chewing on the foot is mainly ****, not so much k9. it's something **** just do if there is nothing to fixate on, so give them a stick.

Where do you take the pelt's to turn them in? I hear muskrat's are good eating, Not sure about eatting the rest in that list.
