I believe the greenie brigade would have a field day if I was to use snares, they would probably lynch me cause the snare is not considered humane enough to use on wee critters!!!
yes I do see the irony...

I got a ferret in my traps so Im pleased as punch. the local bird life will have one less to worry about and the bunnies will be a little safer too.

Well done mate...keep at them...if nothing else, you are doing the environment a favour and also getting in a little varmint hunting.
Cheers, Vince

I also came across a couple of pics of a snare. I certainly don't advocate the use of these things, but at a pinch or in an emergency type situation, they will catch game.
Place sticks in the ground, close to each other, so that they form a circular fence with a diameter at least 1.5 yds. Leave a single "entry" hole in this 'fence' just large enough to allow your intended quarry to enter, that's where you place the snare. Put some bait inside the fenced circle to entice the critter. Wait a while then go back to check for a catch. Despatch a caught critter quickly and humanely.
This is only one design for a snare...but it works. Very easy to make, ensuring you use strong enough materials to suit the size of the game you are hoping to catch. Don't forget that you also need to secure the tail end of the snare to something secure like a tree, a deep set peg or something very heavy to stop the critter from doing a runner with your snare around it's neck...not good karma for you or the critter.
Ensure you check the legality of using snares in your area before setting any. It could get very untidy if it is illegal and you are caught.
Cheers, Vince
