Modifying and Setting Snares For Predator Trapping: "Loaded" - The Management Advantage

- Snares, where legal, give trappers a great tool to use in certain situations. With a little modification, you can improve a stock snare and increase your odds of success. In this video, we provide a little how-to on snare modification and setting. By simply making a curl, or pre-loading more of a circular curve into your snare, you'll cover more of the crossing and quicken the snare. It's a simple, yet effective modification that anyone can do. Setting a snare is an art. At first, it might take you some time, but through practice and trial/error you'll have it down. Using wire to form an anchor on a fence crossing and another 8-10 inch piece as a support wire will not only help a trapper firmly secure his snare, but also provide easy adjustment to provide perfect snare placement. Fence crossings offer excellent opportunities for trapping many types of predators. With a little help from this how-to snare video, you'll improve your sets and increase your success next trapping season.
Tom tought me how to snare! Caught a fox the first snare i set! Im still successful today some 30 + yrs. Later! Thax Tom !
I have never heard of the term "Pre-load" in conjunction with snares. I have been setting them on and off for 40 years, never with much success. Came across your video and thought I would try it. EVERY snare I tried it on had a catch the next day as opposed to having the snare dragged out of the way and no animal in it. THANK YOU!
Outstanding information, just started snaring about a week ago, caught a hog and a coyote before I learned this information, have had several snares pushed out of the way, looking forward to setting them up your way and increasing my success. Thank you sir.
Thanks for watching!
I learned how to set up and place many traps and snares from Ragnar Benson/Larry Grupp's books. It's like anything else. Practice, practice, practice. It's damn frustrating at times. Snares seem to be making a comeback among people learning bushcraft and survival. One I have mastered is the Rock Weir trap for fish. Keep in mind that in a survival situation you will most likely expend more energy building and setting traps than you will get from the game. I've been experimenting for the last 30 years, especially with triggers. Great vid here, you got a sub
This guy is an artist when it comes to snares dang
First time snare user-- thanks for the quality tutorial. I've got three set now, looking nice and round, easy to trip. Wish me luck Y'all.
You have really fine tuned the technique, I wouldn't want to be a fox in your neck of the woods!
At 57yo, raised in a small city but big college university town, i can definitely appreciate this af my FIRST share trapping video to start my learning. I found more interest in snare trapping after watching my first episode of ALONE last night 5/21/2020 and seeing how this one woman named Woniya and her 3 squirrel takes around her 65th of 100 days. And she needed the food badly.. THANK YOU Sir for my first real instruction. Q1- who made and where can i obtain those type of snares ? I imagine after i try a fewn i'll be able to make my own down the road... the first thing that struck me the 84" length but as your video progressed, i understood.
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸 thanks again for concise, short and simple. Be well and stay blessed
Excellent advice. I never used snares before and didn't know how to properly make a set. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video! Never set traps before but my neighbor handed me a hand full. Following your instructions I caught a coon and coyote the first day! I appreciate people that share their knowledge like this it's very helpful and teaches people things they need to know.
Great video. Well taught and easy to understand. Good teacher.
This is excellent. I'm not sure where the coyote is entering my yard, but know it's coming over the wall. I did see where it exited, and I want it removed permanently. This video is very helpful! Hopefully I get it before it realizes how much "prey" I'm raising back there.
Thanks a million for posting this. Incredibly helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
You made it easy for me as I have failed 2 times at catching what ever is under my house so thanks for the info because I was doing NOTHING right.
This is the way we do it and it works! Great. This (maybe) is the best instructional video I've seen if you are working off a net wire (high fence) operation as we are.
Best snare video i've seen so far. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Awesome instruction. Thank you
Nice set.
Great instruction video, caught two so far using these same snares and this technique. Get these snares at F&T Fur traders. Coyotes took my little Yorkie from our back yard, I'm getting revenge on them! Thanks for sharing your technique.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
I live in pa state

People don't realize if a coyote will snatch a small animal they will also snatch a small child and they try to shame people for trapping
Gonna be doing first time sharing this year s nd this is by far the most helpful vid yet...
Very informative and great camera work, I can actually see what your describing. Thank you
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Up here in Canada we have to run snares with a stinger kill spring they work fabulous
Great video!
Thanks!
He nailed it. He seems to be a badass fella to hang out with
Very helpful! Thanks.
Y’all are legends
This really helped me.
Thank you.
Great advice. I have never used a snare that I didn't make myself but I have been thinking about buying some just to keep in my BOB thanks for the video (liked and subscribed)
Thomas V
Very good informative video. Last night fox got into my chicken coop and killed most of chickens...tonight fox will be back but I am prepared with superb snare and half of bloody chicken as bait. Thanks for great tutorial
Usually two nights later from my experience.
What type of snare are you using?
Dear Management Advantage, Thank you so much for sharing. I am new to snaring and these were fantastic tips.-Paul
Thanks for educating us! Sweet setup ideas!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent advice. Thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks mate great video very informative really appreciate it.Good bloke.
Cheers
Great video! Finally, somebody made a video up and close so I can see what’s going on. I’m not sure about this whammy thing. How do you make this or where do you buy this?
every one of your videos is great. Greetings from Serbia
Thanks!
Really interesting system! 👍
Thanks for the tip!! Super helpful
How do you repair one after you have caught a coyote?
Very informative video, thank you for taking the time to post it.
Great stuff and thanks for sharing.
NSTRAPPERHUNTER Thanks for watching it!
Great video. Haven't tried snaring yet but would like to. This video will help a lot.
Wonderfully done! Thank you for sharing the arts...
Great vidio
A fox can actually go through a woven wire fence with those size openings quite easily and amazingly enough, some small coyotes can too. One thing that concerns me is having a snare fastened at that height and manner, especially on a fence that has barb wire,
With that length, an animal, such as a coyote will often jump or climb the fence, resulting in a suspended animal dangling from the fence. While this certainly suffocates the animal through strangulation, it is NOT a good look for us as trappers and can be spotted, often from afar.
Barb wire fencing, is of course, a way to damage the pelt, in fact, a fox caught can often do considerable damage to itself and it's pelt.
My advice would be to use a cable slider, much the same style a beaver trapper does, which allows the animal to leave the catch site and stop some 20 feet away, saving the set location. A shorter snare can be used and still be effective.
I may note that I personally NEVER attach a piece of cable which has a higher breaking strength with a piece of wire, that can break. Why would you do that , when a looped in, could have the cable ran back through itself and cinched tight ?
Many state laws prevent fence snaring because the state does NOT allow entanglement within a certain footage from the anchor point.
While snaring fence lines is an effective manner of capturing coyotes, there are certainly better ways of doing it !
Very helpful and thanks for sharing your experience it all helps. 👍👋🇬🇧
No coyotes or foxs yet, but i did catch a deer. Such a small snare with the placement as such for predators is it common to accidentally catch and kill deer? Anyway to for sure keep the deer from getting caught up in the snare?
All my snares have break away j hooks. The loop breaks open at around 450# pressure ( I think that's the breaking test) releasing deer and livestock. The Snare Shop company can help with what you need to do.
I really like the cam setup on the snares you are using. All the ones I find locally have the bent piece of metal that the cable doesn’t seem to slide thru freely like this design does. I have looked at where others commented to find these but don’t see anything just like those. Where can I get that design snare. Thanks
great setup thanks for sharing
Wallace Vivian You bet. Thanks for watching!
Why would you want shock to be absorbed? Wouldn't a solid anchor be more effective and tighten the snare faster
The whammy or tubbing for support wire keeps the tension while the snare is being closed
Great video ! Thanks for posting !
Nice one from Harry sankar
thank you much i will check in facebook good video
Really like the snare your using but can't seem to find the same. Where do you buy?
Nice trap... Good
Great job, well done.
Doesn't work if it's a barbed wire fence that they can come under anywhere
What brand is the snare in the video?
Exactly the information I was looking for, thank you.
Two questions I what knife did this guy carry and what cable did you use 7x7 or 1/19
Very good thank x
Snare cable are 2 or 3 mm wide?....thanks a lot
well done
what is the brand of trap your using?
What's the name of the tighter part ?
Can you make same video and catching the animal to show how effective it is
great video...do you have a amazon link to buy a good snare?
What snare are you using in the video?
I've noticed that the snares in your video appear thicker in comparison to what we have here in the UK. Is that because coyotes are a lot stronger than red foxes?
Ryan Taylor definitely. Coyotes can get up to 40+ lbs here in Nebraska, USA. Our red fox don't come close to that weight.
Thanks so much! Very helpful!
Do you sell or know where I can get some?
Can you show how y’all e-coat ur foothold traps saw it on one of your video
Size of wire used ?
Why would you use a snare instead of a conibear? Just wondering what the benefit is to this method.
In most if not all states you can't use a conibear big enough for coyote on land
I had a coyote escape from a conibear. Don't think he would be so lucky with a snare, I'm hoping.
Don’t put to much pressure on the cable while trying to make the candy cane/ Shepherd hook.
My cable now looks like a pigs tail.
So thats my 1st one trying this with an it’s wasted
Ok ... where is the Boar here . I don't see any Boar getting trapped.
Dove si comprano?
say need which bait
What kind of snare are you using in this video. These videos are extremely informative keep it up!
Is there a one size snare that can be used for any size animal small to large to avoid having to buy multiple sizes?
Maravilha, essa forma aí é bastante eficiente, mais um inscrito like e sino marcado
Im curious why the trap company doesnt just do what you did for you
It's because people like them set up or sprung a little different for different situations, also because the same size cable is used for a few different species of critters so trapper will load different size loops depending on animal size. I hope I helped a little and sorry it took 6 years for someone to answer you.
@@ericbest9562 Helps a lot thanks
Forgive me if I missed this but, what kind of snare is that and where might I purchase them?
Oh yeah!
^..^~~
This technique of pre-loading the snare will not work on just any snare,it has to be the type of snare you are using in this video.A number of People have asked you what snared is and where you got it but you have not answered them.
WHAMMY!!!!
This a cruel thing to use and hurts animals terribly!
Coyotes, wolves, and eagles are cruel. I have witnessed eagles pecking the eyes out of a new born calf, wolves chewing the testicals off of a young bull to the point he had to be put down. Very sad.
How someone can snare an innocent being to a slow terrible painful death is beyond me.
If snares are set responsibly using swivels to incorporate twisting and are checked on a regular basis, they arent actually cruel. They act as a restraint as opposed to a hanging device. The trapper will then humanly dispatch the animal by shooting
Coyotes are vicious indiscriminate killers.They will attack and kill children,pets and livestock.There are many videos on youtube which attest to these things.A pack of coyotes killed a horse on a ranch in Michigan...
A coyote was seen stalking my buddies grand children on two occasions in their back yard. A Nova Scotia jogger was killed by coyotes. I have no love for the stinking bastards. I can't keep my stomach down long enough to skin one, just leave them in a remote pile for the buzzards.
A slow terrible painful death is wolves coming into your field at night and killing several baby calves while their mother's try and fight to save their baby's with no luck. Often times they kill just to kill, eat one calf and kill 4 or 5 others for sport. It is very sad.
Si
Only a psychopath would enjoy torturing animals. You are basically hanging the animal, but without lifting it in the air.
Its not best of luck
When you have skill
Fuck trapping
PEOPLE ARE SO PROUD OF THEIR SNARES. PEOPLE THAT SNARE ANIMALS ARE DISGUSTING - THE SNARES CAUSE ANIMAL HUGE AMOUNTS OF PAIN, SUFFERING, HUGE PAINFUL CUTS AND HOLES, EVEN MAKING ANIMALS LOSE LIMBS & THEIR LIFE..... YOU'RE CRUEL......
Wolves have killed over a dozen of our baby calves this winter. They are vicious killers. You think a snare is cruel you should see the aftermath of wolves ripping to shreds a baby calf as it is being born and coming out of it's mothers body.
@@jhm5833 SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR CALVES. These are two Continents that we are referring too. In South Africa, snares are placed to catch any kind of Animal. I wanted to place photo's of two 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 baby Elephants caught in snares. My favourite called Fenya, walked for two months, before being found, with a snare around her neck. She managed to get it free out of the ground, and it grew tighter. She died four weeks ago after many Carers, Vets and loving passionate hours devoted to her in an attempt to get her healed up. Please watch clip ON CZcams ABOUT HERD Elephant Rehabilitation & Orphanage, to see how these dedicated people try their hardest, AND give their ALL. 🐘🐘🐘
Great videos man, you were an inspiration for me to make one: czcams.com/video/OoFgGmdmfk0/video.html
I wish I knew what you forgot about coyote trapping. I struggle with them but I enjoy trying!
Thanks for watching!
Very cruel
"pre load the snare, " for a good loop. I was good until I tried your pre load in the cable loop. It circled alright, like a curley q fry. You after however spot on with all the other info that you shared. Stress NOT to pull too hard as your pulling it across your fence Eddie, or whatever someone might use for their 's
Wolves and other predators are cruel. They kill our cattle and sheep all the time. Very gruesome. I am going to set some more snares tomorrow.
excellent video!!
