And these are for? Just curious?

 

snares. you feed the end of the cable through the center, the put on your end stop. the snare will spin inside the swivel, as new jersey requires.

 

what a horrible way to die. getting caught in a snare. shitty.

Just because you are ignorant about trapping doesn't mean you should stop making ignorant comments. But you might think about it.....

Beats the shit our of being eaten alive or maimed by a car to slowly die.

BTW, most of the time it's not the snare that kills, it's the .22 short going through it's brain. You'll notice that the **** in the picture is not dead and doesn't look to be struggling, does it.

 

I took a 1 1/8" dowel and drilled a small hole in the side of it to insert a 10d nail. Same technique as shown. When I'm done twisting the wire I pull out the nail and slip the swivel off the dowel.

It's a real simple jig to make.

I use the heavy galv. suspended ceiling grid wire for my swivels, It can be twisted by hand.

 

stagg, bloadtrails is right on the money. 95% of my snared animals are alive and waiting for me. it is my choice to harvest or release. a snare is nothing more then a leash. we are limited to how small the loop closes.

 

this will go over big to the anties

 

another thing, there were three yotes caught in glouc. county last season. i took 2. both females, if they had litters. there would be 10 more yotes on this farm. ask the farmer how he feels about the yotes. his farm hasn't had a turkey population for 3 years. this pack also took out some pygmy goats on the next farm over last summer. also last year 65% of my reds had mange. what is more humane, freezing to death because of no fur, or a swift shot from me? remember, united we stand, divided we fall. i don't support sunday bow hunting, but i will support UBNJ on all of their battles with the antis.

 

hey bloodtrails take it easy ok. there is no reason for you to talk to me like that ok. im not against it at all if you would shut your mouth and not coment like a 3 yo you would be ok. belive me me ive been around all this stuff my whole life. im in the outdoors every day of my life . dont ever call me ignorent ever again.

 

stagg, you started it. you called snaring sh*tty. houndsmen usually have the same point of view towards snaing. by the way i did return a hound that was missing for three weeks. he was neck snared, had a collar with a number. that dog ran the rest of my line with me, and returned to the owner, safe and sound. we are not allowed to use dispatch snares.

 

Over the years I too have returned lost pets that I caught in snares.One was a Golden Lab, that had been missing for ten days. The owner had a $500.00 reward out for it.(which I didn't know at the time) I refused the reward money..She insisted that I take it. I again refused and told her that I was just glad that she got her dog back...I ended up with 350 acres to hunt AND trap !!!! (I've killed a Gobbler there every year since)[up]

not everyone would be that kind knowing you caught there dog in a trap. You just mention the word trap and you get all kinds of crap these days. Used to trap alot as a kid. All the guys I would do this with are dead now so haven't really thought about it much until reading some of these posts. My wife would kill me if I started up again.

 

Ub Thanks for the pics I really appreciate it. Didn't realize what a stir[confused]

 

Thanks for the info! As a Kid I'd make snares and stuff, never captured anything!lolol

That isn't true. I been a hound hunter & breeder & trapper maybe long than you be alive.I've met many houndsmen around the country that trap. I think you may be mixing us up with the house dog/ bird dog that is taken hunting 1/2 dozen times a year.

 

I have never been around anyone who traps. Other then seeing the traps that are, spring loaded and clamps around a paw or leg. Just wondering how a snare works. What holds tension on the animal so that it does not escape? How do you release that animal if you do decide not to keep it? How often should you check your traps, if you have pets in them that are missing for 10 days or more?

Thanks

Those trap were made illegal here in the early 70's. Before that you couldn't use them in 1st class counties.

 

Traps are required to be checked atleast once every 24 hrs in nj. Some animals do escape from snares mostly ***** because of the human like hands and dexterity. For almost all furs in nj you need a live trap (snare or box-havaheart type)unless the trap is submerged under water. no leg holds are aloowed to use or possses in nj anymore. To let animals go you can use a snare pole like the dog catcher has put it around his neck cut the snare and let him go.
An animal has to pass thru a snare in order for it to work it trips the snare and it slides down like a noose but can be slid off it does not lock down on the animal.

 

Thanks

 

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.

 

they ride in the car as the dog gets his walk.

Sounds like some lazy a$$ Hunterwoods residents. Glassboro WMA.

I have always been interested in trapping. Just never had the opportunity to try it out.

 

i snared me a wife!!! worse thing i ever caught!![rofl][rofl][rofl]

all kidding aside, i love trapping and all aspects of it.wish i had the time and land to do it[up]

Franco...........[smoke]

 

nice jig, thanks for sharing

 

hey bloodtrails take it easy ok. there is no reason for you to talk to me like that ok. im not against it at all if you would shut your mouth and not coment like a 3 yo you would be ok. belive me me ive been around all this stuff my whole life. im in the outdoors every day of my life .

If you have been around this stuff all your life why would you make such an ignorant comment?

dont ever call me ignorent ever again.

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?
