I found brass wire from CT to work fine for Alberta rabbits/hares. Something I found useful-
Youtube has a video where the guy cuts a 5-6ft stick and attaches the wire to the middle of the stick and then sets the loop over the run. This is important because the rabbit spins around the stick and it chokes him out quick. I tried a bunch of different ways ie attached to trees etc and there appeared to be more of a struggle that way and not as effective.
Really try to find a narrow spot in the run as the odds of a catch go way up.
I didn't do anything to change the color and caught rabbits fine.
