  • Here are 4 different types of snare pens I use for snaring rabbits or Snowshoe Hares on the Island of Newfoundland. However the severe Newfoundland Winter Weather has been playing Havoc with my sets. The 3 day storm we had this week didn't help matters at all. Thankfully the Ski-doo Tundra 600 ACE LT was up to the challenge.

    Another dandy video, well done. I used to love getting few rabbits in pounds. I would just bring along my big pruners and cut few nice bushy small spruce and then cut few doors in with my small pruners.

      Oh Len I fully agree. I carried both the big and small pruning shears for years. They are the ideal snaring tool. So much so that I had made a holster for the small ones that I wore on my belt. The big ones I just carried in my hands. An thanks for watching. I don't know what ever happened to that holster I made. So many moves in the Military, it was hard to keep track of everything. I hope I find them again one day.

      Yes I've seen rabbit snares set many different ways over the years and they all seem to work. It's just a matter of finding out what works best for you and honing it the best you can to be as successful as you can be. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated and I hope you tune in every week for new adventures.

      Thank-you Sir, your kind words are greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I have no content to post another video yet this week. Recovering from an injury and fighting the flu. I am trying to capture and tell a more complete and entertaining story through my videos, my goal is one per week when the weather, health and other family commitments allow time for an adventure and the of course the time needed to edit those adventures. Thanks for watching and I hope you stick around to follow me on my daily or weekly adventures once I can get back on track again. I've started working on a project that will take me over a year to complete. Looking forward to sharing that with everyone in the future.

Wasn't fun then and now that I'm in my 50's, it surely wouldn't be enjoyable. LOL

    Nicee Charlie, all my life snared rabbits for food every year. I know back in the younger days I could bring home from Sandy Badger hundreds of them to sell a trip if you happened to be off work during the winter. Usually 2 or 3 fellows would go up in old log cabin we built in couple days for that purpose and we took all those sets for granted because they were good producers and the darkness/plus browse would draw and bring back rabbits all the time. We always called them birch browse pounds and underbrush birch pounds. Guess, like the dialect, there are difference even here, in the province from one place to another due to the isolation eh? Those days are long gone now but the bottom line still basically the same. Rabbit soup!! I'm retired, still catching rabbits for sale and to eat and still for family! Good stuff!. Better watch sometime jumping on that snow pile you don't fall into a sinkhole and lose your sled ahahh! Too bad to lose that nice box !!eheh

    • @NLGhostWolf
      @NLGhostWolf  5 лет назад

      Nothing like getting out snaring rabbits. Like you I've been doing it all of my life. Every year I need to get out and snare some rabbits. I've had a very busy retirement thus far. Had a lot of commitments that keep me from going flat out in the woods. When Mom and Dad were both alive I who take them to all their doctors appointments and treatments which averaged about 3-4 times per week and then into the City of Corner Brook once a month. This coming fall I should have more time to focus on getting out on some longer adventures like a week of fall snaring rabbits for the winter when they are easier to catch and I'm not having to adjust my snares daily. I'm going to have a very busy spring and summer but once that's completed then I'll have time to get back into the great outdoors.

    • @NLGhostWolf
      @NLGhostWolf  5 лет назад

      Thanks, much appreciated. Good to hear you're doing good with the rabbits. It's been a tough couple of weeks here. There are days I go up back and my snares are under 10" of snow... Every day I had to adjust one way or the other. What I should have done and what I'll do the next time I put out some snares is, I'll check then in the late afternoon. That way when the rabbits start moving just before dark the snares should be in better working order. Still loves just getting out and seeing what been moving around.

    Hey, Charlie really enjoy your vids. I just realized your last name was White. We lived in Churchill Falls back in the early 70’s. Had my 1st ski doo. Your adventures bring the great memories back. Had a neighbour named Rick White who was from Stephenville. Lost touch with him years ago. He could really handle a ski doo. Any chance you know him?

    • @NLGhostWolf
      @NLGhostWolf  5 лет назад

      My dad worked there in the 60's but he was missing being with mom and me so he quit. I'm glad you like the videos. I know a Ricky White who grew up across the street from me. He's about 56-58 years old. I believe he's living in Ontario. Not sure if it's the same Ricky. I truly don't think Ricky ever worked in Churchill though. There are a lot of White's here in Stephenville. 19 children in dads family alone. Folks had big family's back then. I'm glad the videos brings back great memories of your own. That's what I strive for when I make these videos. Folks making a connection to them for some reason like reliving their own experiences... Thanks for Watching Matt. Hope you drop more comments in the future. Cheers my friend.

    Take care.. 👍

    • @NLGhostWolf
      @NLGhostWolf  5 лет назад +1

      when we snare out west we do or at least did. I haven't snared out west now in 35 years. Now what we call out west here on the west coast near the Stephenville area is actually south. But I think people started referring to it as out west because it took you south to Port Aux Basque where you catch the ferry to head west on the mainland of Canada. But we use to snare about an 1 and a half from here and always caught a nice few grouse in snares. I didn't catch any this year but did the year before. Yes we have ptarmigan here both rock and the willows and grouse both the spruce and the ruffled.

    Another great and interesting video Charlie. Just wondering if you can offer some advise as to where to find some cabins for rent in the summer in the Stephenville area. We are planning on taking a trouting trip this summer to the west coast and would like to stay in the area. If you know of anyone in the area (Stephenville, Barachois Brook, Gallants, or St. Georges) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    • @NLGhostWolf
      @NLGhostWolf  5 лет назад

      Well this year would mark 30 years from when I left here and joined the Military, so there has been many changes. I will have to ask around and I will get back to you on where would be good cabin rent locations in the area. One off the top of my head would be Doone Lodge in the Black Duck Siding area, just minutes away from Stephenville Crossing. Home of the Big White Bull Moose... It's located on the Harry's River which is a great salmon fishing river. It's under new ownership now so I'm not sure what kind of reputation they now have or prices... Give me a bit and I'll see what I can come up with.

      Oh yes, can't shoot what you can't see. Dog's don't like pushing rabbits pass you time and time again without success. Can't get the success if you can never get to see the bunnies... All great fun in the great outdoors though...
