BAD News
Just in case anyone is considering making a large purchase of snares, you should be made aware that there is a very strong possibility that BADs will be mandatory on snares next season. I would say that the chance of it happening is 100%.

Any idea of the size that may be required? I'm ok with it, I run BADS on all my snares anyway. I did bump up a size this year though.

Break Away Device. It's an S shaped link in the snare designed to release animals heavier than the intended target.

The information about this is posted on the public domain so I have no idea why Trappers haven't been given more notice about this. Check the 2016 resolutions from the AGM on the ATA website for all of the details about it.

Thanks Dave, I find it interesting the resolution to prohibit going to the media with non target catches was not carried.

I'd include BAD's on my new snares just in case it is legislated for next season. Better to have and not need rather than need and not have.

It behooves all of us to go to lengths to avoid bycatch and use the most humane snaring systems available to us. A properly tested and rated BAD along with kill spring is a no brainer to me. I'm surprised that such a change would meet residence from anyone who cares about trapping freedom.

Think we know what you meant Great post by the way . Why anyone would want to use a snare without a breakaway is beyond me . Even tho our efforts to be humane and improve our systems will largely be ignored by anti's it does show that we are trying

Bads
Here ! Here ! , used for a long time , senneker system , won't use anything else , although I have given the Rams a try with BADS on them & Ram's do the job when they work , catches I mean , didn't care for the refusal's but this can happen with any system . Mine sit as spares collecting dust .

Can I ask what size of breakaway you use or would recommend? Honestly I have the most issue with moose as they seem to love to inspect bait sites.
