In Oklahoma a snare has to have a stop to prevent it from closing to 10" circumference which comes out to 3.18" diameter. I know that a live catch coyote snare is 3.5" diameter..
So will 3.18" be enough to kill the coyotes on the snare or will I have a large amount of live animals to deal with?

New to snaring and ADC work.
Thanks for the info.

can't seem to find Oklahoma trapping regulations anywhere online, so I have to say it depends.
In WI the minimum stop is set to 8" length which makes a loop of 2 1/2 " diameter. the small diameter stop is also called a deer stop. it lets a deer leg slip out of the loop. Also, in WI there needs to be a relaxing washer, which makes the device a cable restraint, not a snare, and therefore it is meant not to kill an animal, but only to hold it in place.
So I would say check your regulations, if there is a relaxing washer mandatory, then you probably will find your coyote alive.

The regs .. https://www.wildlifedepartment.com/laws_regs/nco2.htm

The section that allows snars for a NWCO:

4) The NWCO may use snares (snares set on or just above ground level shall be equipped with a locking device that prevents the loop from closing to a circumference less than 10 inches. Snares set above ground such as in an attic do not need the loop restriction).

Yep. Yet it's still called a snare so I was hoping that this stop would be more of a deer stop than a yote stop.

I probably ain't following this or the other thread the best , but I would think if you can use a lock like a slim lock , you'll be having the results your looking for .
Just a guess !




Simplify your methods to the point of perfection.

Become fast,efficient & effective.

The real "SECRET" to successful trapping.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Yep it seems that any lock or spring is acceptable, the only restriction is the stop. It's still 1.5" away from being considered a live catch snare, so I figure worth the right lock and spring I'll gain a little bit of space and have consistently dead yotes.

I'll check those slim locks out.

The only restriction I can find in the NWCO course is for a cable restraint in that case because it is keeping an animal alive you cannot use any entanglement.
