Rabbit snare.

Thats true bit its pretty hard to draw squirlls into a snare, I think so at least.

Well i must say it would be very hard if not impossible to get a squirrel to walk up to & through a snare Shocked

.
I would say set up figure 4's & set up snares as well Cool

cover all the bases. Laughing

Inded Daffy, however my opinion isnt very accurate cause I dont hunt them, never have.

If you had read my post you would have seen that I suggested putting the snare at the entrance to the squirrels burrow. Next time I am at Canadian Tire I am going to pick up some snare wire to test this. My only fear is that the squirrel won't die in it. A rabbit has significant weight to it and usually is running as hard as possible when they get caught in a snare, and afterwords if they don't break their neck instantly they kick and pull untill they choke to death. I dont' think a squirrel is capable of this. I think you would be more likely to catch one in a snare, but I am not sure (yet) if it would kill them. I have yet to build a figure 4 that I am confident would kill an animal, even a squirrel, rather than simply maim them or break a leg.

Oh i read your post, was just refering to Troops comment. }
I would say setting a snare for a squirrel most likely would not kill it right away as would & figure 4 with a 5lb stone falling on it. Just my thoughts on that.

I really don't think that either would kill one... It is something I have to see to believe. I will try to set something up one of these days. I just don't see how a 5 pound rock falling a foot (if it is a big figure 4) would have enough force to kill anything...

Didn't Les get a squirrel type critter in the canyon episode ??
That piece of rock he used i dont think could have been more than 5lb ?
He lifted it pretty easy....

I know that he did in that episode, but untill I do it i really can't figure out how it would be successful. It just doesn't seem like it would do the trick (even tho les did it...)

Thats a good point, I guess we both dont know at this point Laughing

Snares are a cruel method of hunting.. as Les said, the rabbit tries to get away all the while choking itself to death before it dies in a pit of misery. Guns & maybe a deadfall are a little more humane, but if it works and you use every part you can, I'm not to judge.

By the way, nothing personal. Just my opinion of course.

i need to learn how to Clean a Rabbit, because i want to try to snare one when i go Camping and Eat it.

anyone have some Pretty easy details because im not good at understanding that stuff

_________________

Snares can be quite humane, instead of making just a choke loop, attach it to a springy sapling, strong enough to lift the animal a good distance off the ground, but not catapult it, when triggered, especially with a burrow loop, your chances of getting the neck are really high and it snaps the neck instantly
