some advice if you do a under ice trapping series, particularly for muskrat, you can use orange or white flagging tape for under ice conibear or leghold feed sets. how it works is it looks like something edible orange carrots or white parsnips or potato. it seems to really work.

Hey Dave, I have a few tips. When connecting your snare just run the snare through the end loop and wire off, no need for the clip. If you do not wire your snare down to the tree, critters will climb the tree, get loose and you lose the animal and snare. Also loop size helps prevent body catches and fur damage. 5-6inw x 5-6inh for coon,fox,otter,small game. 8-10inw x 8-10inh for beaver,cat, yotes. Use 9 or 11 gauge wire for tie down and support. Just tips I was taught by old timers hope it helps

This answered my snaring questions. Oh, on the subject of quick arrow fletching, here's an item that is useful. Its a one piece, black rubber. slip on fletching that is sold for fishing arrows called Quick Fletch. Mud Shark Archery carried them for a minimal price. I keep three of them handy with a ready made bow string and some plastic nocks. Weighs nothing and saves a lot of work.

It was good to meet you at the FTA College this past year. If I may offer one note I have observed in the field while setting trails for Coyotes. Yotes notice when things are moved around too much and the less we touch, the less human scent. At pinch points, I use small, thin stuff to break up the outline of my loop to provide subtle fencing. I even start the subtle fencing back from the snare. A chin lifter is always a good idea. Hope to see you back at FTA in 2013.

It's so much cheaper and a lot more fun to make your own. Memory in a snare refers to loading it and that is super simple. You buy 100 cam locks pretty cheap. Just go to snareshop.com or snareone.com for all of your trapping needs. I make all of my own hog snares. Also, the thing that he was talking about that stops the lock from closing past a certain point, is called a deer stop and most states require them because snaring deer is illegal. Or you can do it bushcraft style and use military grade paracord, I do it all of the time. Buying snares, is such a waste of money.

You can cover up human scent on snares with charcoal powder. Just take dry charcoal, powdered and apply it to the trap. Do not add water. A little water is fine, but too much can create a caustic compound. Charcoal on your hands is ok but try not to apply the charcoal wet.

3/32 7x7 cable is .30 a foot, home made washer lock .13 each, aluminum stop and double stops .40 for each snare. Total cost for a snare that will catch everything from squirrel to deer is roughly $2.33, and that's for a 6' snare.

Why not have a 36 inch snare then a barrel swivel and a 6 or 7 foot extension with an adjustable end? With them wire swivels they wrap around a stick and you've lost all your swiveling action. It also looked like your snares weren't loaded, or am I mistaken?

Nice post Dave. I'm not at all angry, but I feel a little betrayed with you not using #4 picture wire. Anyway, I LOVE your videos and info, you’re a good man. Can you give any advice on using "signaling" devices on snares, like a bell or something? To tell a trapper that a snare has been set. I don’t know if this is a new idea or a currently utilized one, but seem a like a decent idea to me. Your thought would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! And again great video and info as always!
