No way it was a deer. May be a defective cable ?? May have been. Went back and looked closer in the day light, found a few tuffs of deer hair . The cable looks like it broke at the deer stop which is a small steel nut I crimped on the cable( this was a Dakota Line versatile snare) . So because it broke about 4" from the end It would seem to rule out a chew out or someone else releasing the deer as it does appear to have been a deer at this point.

Squatchs carry pouches of deer hair to foil Trackers And occasionally deer turds too.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Sounds like the deer stop may have damaged the cable when it was crimped. Is that your take on it ??? Yes, the break is close (from memory) where the deer stop was crimped . I'm just glad it got away without trying to deal with that alone. Outside my 12 year old trapping partner, I have no "buddies" to help me out.

I doubt if an aluminum stop damaged the cable.I've used them a lot.Keep in mind,the deer may have gotten it's antler snagged,not a foot,so no chance of a foot slipping out and he will break out.I've seen it happen on 3/32". I agree with the aluminum part but the OP said it was a steel nut. Surprised you've seen a deer break 3/32". I have held more moose in 3/32 than I care to think about. Never lost one unless there was a BAD in the system. I have seen one caribou with antlers in a wolf snare. Had that snare twisted up like a spring. I could see that breaking eventually.
