Default my snaring system

Had to build some snares last night and took some pictures. This system has been around for ages and I found it works very well for me. I can set these snares in under 20 seconds a snare. Two wraps around the desired tree a couple twists and set you height and your done. Adding the swivels to my #9 wire. http:// can built a swivel with this setup tohttp://

Just an s hook 265 not sure who's brand bought these from an American supplier. I'd love a 365# but these work too well at times. Lol I find the more dogs I take out of an area the more deer move back in. The 265 are a little light sometime. If your snare fouls or you catch a big old male that acts like a dog on a leash and hes caught deep. He will open it.

Cool...so do you use an extension? Is the only thing between your snare and the anchor that thick wire?

What is that machine? Sorta looks like a rope maker but not exactly like the ones I've seen.

That would be real handy round a snare workshop.

No extension. That's the whole snare. The thick wire ties to the anchor. Keg. It's a rig that my grandfather used in the tin smith shop to crimp the bottom of tin pails to the sides of the pails together. I just welded a rod to the side to build swivels.

You bet. How long does it take you to set up your snare. A few seconds? I bet there's some #9 wire what I have reused 10 times. There's nothing that can go work unless it gets kinked over hard

How are you tieing off the #9 or what are you anchoring to.seems to me when a dog is on the fight in a snare hes gunna kink back raight were the #9 is anchored to your anchore.just not sure with your aplication weather its willow runs and the dog is getting tangled up in the willows to take the pressure off the anchore point or your dealing with open country dogs and full impart when they hit the end of the snare and all the shock goes back to your anchore point.

Anything I can find. Popular saplings ,willows, barb wire, posts and spruce trees. I called my uncle and he said he's called an Alaskan wolf snare. I know that he's been using the same system since it was legal to snare. I have been for the last 21 years. Heres some pics. This is one tied to a sapling http://

Takes a lot of dogs to find a 58 pounder
