4’ of 3/32 1x19 for the loop and 2’of 1/8” 7x7 for the extension, big inline barrel swivel between the two... I target live market coyotes and use between 100-300 per season... I use loaded snares and my loop size varies depending on the situation but can be as large as 14”...

A guy I used to trap with used to do that. He seemed to have a ton of chew outs for what he caught. I have had one since switching to ten foot snares

Hutchy,a dead animal cant chew out,lol.You have to set your snares to be lethal.If you set snares in the open without a kill pole you are just setting a cable restraint.I have re used cat snares on many occasions after a catch,they go lights out real quick on a kill pole.If you are setting snares to be lethal and you have frayed wire from chewing,a catch circle or waterhead,that is telling you that you are doing something wrong,and need to tweak your methods or seek a better location to make your sets.

Dispatch snares.

1/16 for cats, 5/64 for coyotes. All 7x7. All made 6’ long. All go on a 7-8’ 3/32 extension, sometimes use multiple extensions to get to a natural anchor.

The only loading I do is loading em in the truck.

The number used a year varies. I’ve got 1000 ready for this season.

Loop size to fill the trail (smaller the better), 10-12” high for coyotes, 8-10” for cats.

I prefer 60", 1x19 with an extra mid-line swivel, I run about 100 during our 2.5 month season on average, I set my loop at 9 inches wide, 9 inches off the ground, as I target coyotes only but will hip catch nearly any fox that might come through, all pre-loaded.

60" cable restraints. Reverse bend washer cuz it's the only option here. Twist on supports. No surgical tube for me for support! Painted cables. Been using 7x7 3/32 cable but picked up '1000 of 1/19 to try this year.


Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

Length: 40". Built for kill poles, I run extensions on snares not attached to kill poles. Cable size: 5/64th 1X19 loaded. How many: 100 or so for coyotes. Loop size: 12" because it's state law. Steel whammies because of the solid lock up I get off of the kill poles and I don't like messing with plastic/rubber whammies in sub zero temps. No kill springs, I use entanglement to apply constant pressure on the lock.

Locks: Slim, bullet & teethed death blows.

I put that rubber In the freezer for a week and It never got hard. It's used as gas line so if It got hard It wouldn't be a good choice for that application.

I PA we are limited to CR's and also have entanglement to take into account. Given the entanglement,there are those times when using a longer cable will prevent you from setting some places that would work with a 48 inch type. I am mostly working areas with narrow trails through high grass so staking and supporting can be VERY close the trail rendering longer cable unnecessary.
