How to Build a Bobcat Snare

[@dianehodnett3751]

I tried this set-up on coyotes. 3 of 5 broke the wire and got away. I enjoy your videos. You and kellsi are hard working and good family people

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah dogs are a different story gotta tie ur snares high and I wouldn’t use any less than 11 gauge wire for coyote… they are harder to choke out then cats and wolves I use 9 wire and make sure I have entanglement around… thank you we love hard work and our lifestyle

[@dianehodnett3751]

Never snared a wolf. Several hundred coyotes. Keep after em

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Thank you for showing us how you make your snares cool brings back memories when we used to set snares for bobcats on the side of the roads on the trapline dad used to walk and make a trail back-and-forth and sit on the trail the cats follow your trail. thank you again

[@whatido3021]

Good luck with those bobcats and good looking snares!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks bud I am going to switch to the 3/32 camlock because they fall way faster

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

Looks good! I only started making up my own snares beginning of the last season. Pre made wolf snare costs started to get to me. These cat snares your making look great. Keep it up bro

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Wolf snares are just the same but 3/32” with 9 wire

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Boiling up 17 wolf snares and about 20 cat snares as we speak to set out today

Awesome video brother I can’t wait to see some wolves in those snares for ya! Crazy that a thin layer can’t get that paw out of theyre like that.I’m ready to see some cats love u guys

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yes it’s surprising what little can hold a trap up… going for a check tomorrow fingers crossed

[@richardainsworth6590]

What height does it have to be approx . Thanks for the video thumbs up

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

[@dianehodnett3751]

Sorry spelled Kellie wrong. Have a good day

[@dianehodnett3751]

Kelsie. Dang auto correct

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Haha no worries my friend

[@fredericktownhomestead8094]

Here I was thinking you were going to snare a skid steer.

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

That would be nice!

[@Northwoods208]

Good looking loops man

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Thanks brother I love building snares just hate the corkscrew with the 3/32

[@Northwoods208]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie I haven't ever ordered enough of it to have issues, I'm not a huge snare guy so mostly I buy pre made snares when I do...I figure the guys who make them all the time are less likely to screw up than me lol

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

Am man that’s to bad about the wolf!

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

Yeah came close brother came close

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

@@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie ah man I’ve had that happen a few times, that’s when I stopped using wax paper or anything to cover the trap but snow. I”ll still use it toward the spring when it’s warm outside. But you’ll get him next time.
