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.

Its simply an assumption Cool

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.

Never take anything for granted.

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
