Snare
Snares have the advantage of being lightweight and fairly
inexpensive. a snare is good for making trail sets. a snare
can be used like foothold traps to capture animals live.
However, snare can also be lethal and dispatch an animal
like a bodygrip trap. This happens if an animal gets tangled
up in the snare and cannot get its feet back on the ground.
A situation like this is called an entanglement situation.
You must be careful to avoid entanglement situations,
especially when it is possible to catch a domestic animal in
the snare. While other traps can be used over and over a
snare can be used only once. After a snare has captured an
animal, it must be replaced with a new snare. Snare work
best in trail set where animals are moving along. snare does
not work efficiently at bait or lured sets. a Snare is most
effective for larger furbearers, especially coyote, fox, and
beaver. raccoon can also be taken effectively in snare.
