How to make snares/cable restraints for coyote, fox and beaver

[@okopnik]

If you want extra security on your cable ends, don't waste your time soldering - just use a slightly larger ferrule and double the end back. That doubled cable *can't* slip through - you'd have to rip the ferrule apart.

Great video. Thanks for sharing how you make your snares. Would like to see more of how you skin and hang your catch. Also an inside look as to what you do for your local farmers and ranchers as a company. Thanks again.

Thank you very good information 👍

Thank you for demonstration

I have feral hogs. That enough cable for a 2-300 pounder? Our biggest was 420lb bar hog (castrated).

[@aktrapper6126]

Excellent, thank you.

[@thomasjehnkins1986]

Nice snares! You need to get you a push button propane torch, you will thank me later!...

great vid

[@alfredhensley6475]

Hello sir I really appreciate this video I am new to trapping and this is helping me tremendously. I am also from Southeastern Kentucky I have checked with the state fish and wildlife about the locking device. It's kind of foggy in the area of the actual snare. I understand that I cannot use things like trip up snares. Are there any other locks that are legal in Kentucky?

[@kennypridemore5466]

What about preloading the cable ? .... you didn't touch on that

[@buckaroooutdoors1794]

In my area there aren't enough coyotes to be profitable, we mostly trap beaver and otter would these snares work in water, it seldom gets under 15 degrees and I usually trap running water and springs so freezing isn't a big concern

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

Yes I have caught beaver in baited pole sets, runs under water. And great on bank slides.

[@davetoms63]

forgot to add your poly tube ;)

[@oologahgardentractorandcha3055]

do you hook the swivel to a tree or post?

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

At time also stakes and fence

[@coreyboles9971]

How much did the roll of wire cost and the press tool

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

Start up will cost you about $400 swaggerd and cable cutters will cost you around $140 swivels, and micro locks you can reuse.

[@HyliAir]

Why do you bend the cable with the pliers at the end to create a V? Also could you show a photo close up of the locking mechanism.

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

The v is to make your loop a circle , the lock is a micro lock. I will try to put a close up of the lock in the next video.

How to snaring just rabbits no others animals ?

[@Joebanker80]

You can build them with a hammer and a pair of harbor freight bolt cutters. . This is way too much overkill on tools. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the video but I don’t see the advantage of all this

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

I make 2000 + snares a year cheap harbor freight tools don't cut it, we get paid per head, fine tuning every detail is important to me. With that build your way, I'll build them mine, good luck.

[@Joebanker80]

@@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543 No disrespect was intended and you definitely are highly skilled at this. I build maybe 40 or 50 a year as they wear out and need replaced or if we need more. I didn’t take into considering the production advantage of them. We make them for farm purposed and don’t sell them. Yes of course the equipment is great for turning them out but how many people need 2,000????? That was my point

[@DirtwalkerOutdoors]

My problem with snares is hogs. Every time I set snares around here I end up catching a hog, usually overnight, which ends up tearing up everything.

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

No money in the hogs, meat sales?

[@DirtwalkerOutdoors]

Wilderness Company: Predator & Wildlife Control not anymore. We’ve been overrun with them for decades and the market fell out. Good eating if they’re under 100 lbs but nobody wants the big hogs.

[@wildernesscompanypredatorw1543]

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors can you get into Nuisance trapping in your area, and make money that way. I know several trappers that do nuisance hogs in areas and make a good living doing it.

[@DirtwalkerOutdoors]

Wilderness Company: Predator & Wildlife Control there are still a bunch of fellers still in the hog catching business. They run around with a dozen pit bulls and tear every fence down in the county. They kinda killed the market.

[@dyouden]

Just bend your cable over on the ends and use a double ferrule instead of using the flux.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Why change something that's working so well?

[@dyouden]

Just seems like extra work and money. To each their own. Whatever works for you

[@kentuckytrapper780]

@@dyouden I use the double ferrule method to, old trappers are set in there ways they think if it's not broken don't fix it. He does catch a lot of coyotes.

[@danielworley2273]

You dont need any of those tools..if you do Your using tools for fools.
