Making a rabbit snare

rabbit trap

This is how to make a home made rabbit snare… If you can’t find stainless steel wire, brass or copper will work just as well. Make sure your string is very strong. I like to use a braided twine that is treated with a non-slip coating to prevent knot slippage. If you happen to make some and set them, let me know how you make out. Always be repectful of land owners and get permission…Stay away from residential areas to avoid pets…Post your area to advise other hunters of your snares, and always respect the environment. Never set snares until you know your local laws…You can do this by checking your local DNR…(Department of Natural Resources) Check out the video response below “Snaring Rabbits – Checking Rabbit Snares”. The proof is in the pudding. It works! Rabbit stew anyone? Maybe later I will do a rabbit recipe vid. There is more than one way to skin a rabbit. I am going to also make a “skinning a rabbit and field dressing a rabbit” vid once the season opens. Snaring rabbits is a great way to get out in nature and pass away the winter blues.

    Wolves are some of the biggest pests in some places in the country.

    why wont the thing just untighten as the rabbit moves around? i can see it? clamping tight but whats to stop it from going back open – theres not slipnkot right?

    because the rebbit’s instict tells it to moeve away from it and so it wil try to get away and tighten. so simply said justb beacause rabbits are stupid

    It’s gonna get caught around it and it’s hard to get a snare off of something without having hands. I know, I trap coyotes. And an animals instinct (when it is caught) is to run away from what ever’s got a hold of it they’re not gonna try to untangle it and slipt back out, they cut awful shines when they’re caught. The other comment you got from this was a retard, rabbits are very smart.

    Hey bro…I’ve caught countless bunnies over the years and never had one part or “bite right through the string” in fact I’ve never even heard tell of it…

    I have heard tell of other animals doing that, and even chewing off their own limbs to free themselves….But not Rabbits!

    On the other hand I have seen rabbits break too weak of wire…

    ethanellingsen, part of the beauty of using the string and setting these the way Northernpike56 does, it greatly increases your catch rate because the wire will lock before the rabbit really seems to panic.

    You also dont need a swivel by using the string and the chances for a 20 gauge wire to fail on a thumper is pretty rare (i’ve never seen it). The string absorbs shock and twisting better than plain wire.

    I think maybe you should just sit back, relax and learn.

    good vid im in scotland and snares here are different to your kind do you think you could maybe send me a few dozen of those snares so i can try them out please? if so i could happily give you my address thanks a bunch

    konar

  • By ozmanofpeace, April 21, 2010 @ 6:57 am

    @JoeConEd one word:pressure. it’s a slip knot, so long as pressure remains on the wire, the loop will constrict. a rabbit will move, hence maintain this constriction until it chokes and dies (rather quickly). from sheer panic, you can pretty well guarantee it will move ALOT. rabbits hop, they don’t ‘sneak’ generally, so a noose will not ‘slowly’ tighten but rather abruptly

    @knifecollector93 well if he eats it then thats a good use, right? if for sport then i agree

  • By ozmanofpeace, April 21, 2010 @ 7:02 am

    @VakDraco just had a thought. if u watch a rabbit on a run and figure out where he’s gonna go, then go in behind him and set a snare, you could come back round the front and scare him – you know where he’s gonna end up!

  • By knifecollector93, April 21, 2010 @ 6:58 pm

    @roughneck10000 then do it with a rifle.
