Snaring Rabbits - How to Set a Rabbit Snare

This is a video of my version of setting a rabbit snare...I was inspired to make this video and other videos, from a video I took of my father setting one last season. Check out my videos "Making a Rabbit Snare" and "Snaring Rabbits - Checking Rabbit Snares" The proof is in the pudding. It works!

When searching for an area to snare, if there is no snow, rabbit droppings are a great indicator of the presence of rabbits. The droppings are about the same size and shape of the candy "smarties", with a grainy texture.

You can also secure your snares to available cover if it is next to the area you selected to set the snare, rather than cutting and tieing to a tree limb.

Snare Hieght Off Ground: 3 inches (lower limit)... 8 inches (upperlimit) These ranges should cover most sizes of rabbit...Adjust for your individual situation.

I hope you watch and enjoy all my vids. I know I did making, setting, snaring, taping, putting together video clips, and of course eating rabbits lol!

If you happen to make some and set them, let me know how you make out.

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.

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)

Be responsible and check them daily. Good luck in the woods!

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.
