I have never built this type of snare but i thought it was worth sharing with you guys.
I am going to try it & i'll get pics & info on my luck with it when i can get a chance to build it.

(1) Tie small overhand loop knot in your para-cord, then fold the loop on itself to form Mickey Mouse ears & weave the tag end through the ears as illustrated.

(2) To build the twitch-up snare, use more para-cord to tie a spring pole or the branch of a small tree in tension.

(3) Set up a trigger mechanism like the one shown. When the animals head goes through the loop, the trigger is released, & it snatches the animals into the air, out of reach of other predators.

I've seen this before in a book. Smile

Looks like it would work if you did it right. Cool

You can bait it or put it on an animal trail. Very Happy

Good post. Cool

It looks like it would work but I think you could make 2 or 3 other snares with the same amount of materials it would take to make one of those.
