Great video. A couple of thoughts on your example. I see you don't use the stinger spring catch and was wondering why? Also on your snare extension it doesn't look like it is set up to swivel? I like to have the snare extension loop and the snare loop connection brought up higher on the tree than the snare so it helps hold the snare up when it comes off the No.9 wire to get a better choke point on the wolf or coyote. Also if the snare wire is longer I can put the snare loop/extension loop connection away from the top of the snare so it is less visible and not supported by the No.9 wire. Everybody has there own way of doing things but I like to know why.
If fokes dont like you talking too much dont listen ..This is how people learn by others talking .I learn lots about snare s something i am going to try this year thanks for the video
I'm going to try this and I'm excited. I've watched many snaring videos and I have a question concerning the height of the snare. I've heard some say four inches off the ground, others say 8-10 inches. However, no one ever says if that is the bottom of the loop or the top of the loop so I'm curious. BTW, I'm going after coyotes.
Depends on the set. That’s why your getting mixed messages. If it’s close to a bait site you want it pretty low. 4-5 inches from the bottom of the snare loop to the ground. The coyote will be coming in head down smelling. If it’s open trail the coyote will have its head up and looking around. You want 10-12 inches from the ground to the bottom of the snare loop.
With kill springs most folks usually downsize cable a size so if you use 5/64 1x19 downsize to 1/16th. I run 3/64 for fox, cats, and beaver under ice, and 1/16th on sennekers. I should say my loop is 1/16th. My extentions are 3/32 7x19 cable. It doesn't kink and remains very reusable even when tangled through the bush.
Little tip for everyone instead of wrapping the support wire around the tree take your cordless drill and drill a hole in the tree and poke your wire into it way faster and uses less wire
I use fence staples. 2 per wire. Then I only snip off 2" of 9ga wire and its reusable and without hardly any kinks. 9ga wire is expensive when you have several hundred sets out.
• ⁕NEW-May not be attached or anchored to a fence or tree and may not be set in a location such that they, when fully extended, can reach any part of a fence, or any rooted vegetation greater than ½ inch in diameter. • ⁕NEW-Snares may not exceed 7 feet in length from the anchor point - NEW REGULATIONS IN MN, how else can you anchor when the ground is frozen and wont take a stake?
What's wrong with his setup? I've been doing about the same thing for 25years and have made my full time living from it for a few years when fur prices were nuts
Another fine training video ! Thank you 🙏. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Happy trapping
Thanks, you too!
Thank you for the great educational snaring video.
Thanks for the great information
Any time!

wow, I believe you should call Mr Sennecker real quick before he has a heart attack!
You load your snare? What do you use to do that?
Do you bend at 90 degree the part where the senneker will be live?

@@NBWildman Excellent!! Thanks.
Thank you very much
Thanks nice setup... if you have a chance I would be interested in getting some of these snares from you...

Do u build your wolf snares the same as coyotes
we can't / don't snare wolves where I am
O I see im going to try an wolf trap next year but only have 2 traps
how about the Diameter of snear, look like 16in.?

Correct me if I'm wrong but those new regulations only pertain to the lynx protection zone in the arrowhead?
Awesome some
You didn’t actually set the kill spring.
If you have a long snare (where allowed) you don't need to pre-set the trigger and can just run a plain compression spring
This guy doing this add doesn't know what he is doing

Salve ma questo sistema potrebbe andare bene anche per catturare i cinghiali grazie
