I run a single #9 wire as well. Keeping it completely straight is one of the main keys to my system. Stupid simple and has proven itself through numerous hurricanes and no telling how many deer pass throughs. Snare remains in place.

I use two ways for my #9 wire . one is weld it to my stake and the other one I learn from Railly is take a long spike. that they use for lawns and weld the #9 wire to it and then about 4" down weld a fender washer to it on center. then If you do not use a stake to tie of you snare you put one of these where you wan it and then you will have it there after the catch still. also it will not turn around because of the fender washer.

Yep. I am going my best not to drag earthanchors, driver, hammer, and rebar. I try not to carry anything with me that I can put in q back pack and a single 5 gallon bucket. I walk to all my sets the lighter the better. But i am seeing good places for kill poles and earth anchors one or the other.

Your going to need a hammer no mater what system you use. If you can set entanglement you don't need to use a kill pole.

Sounds like you'll be cabling off to trees, fences, etc... in that case you may as well go with newt's system of using 14 ga wire and anchoring them off trees and such. That's not an option much here since we have very few trees but I'd run a long extension cable and hope you can find locations where their trails go close to a tree or a fence to hang your snare.

Yep I use 90% Newts style snaring. I have seen a use for 9 gauge wire pounded into the ground and wolf fangs. I have seen uses for kill poles and for the pre made snare supports. While i wont ne adding kill poles to my tackle, wolf fangs number, 9 wire and possibly the pre made snare supports with wire will be added. I spend more time at a snare than I should. I can see the premade snare supports and wolf fangs speeding things up. I could set twice as many snares. Its weight vs speed. But determined to keep it to back pack and a single bucket, and it's getting too heavy!

If weight wasnt an issue I would just use 9 wire pigtails on 1/2 rebar with an extension or two for entanglement. Contemplating it.

I don't know If you can have kill springs on your snares but that might do the trick other then hauling around kill poles.

I have shown this system before, but some guys have not seen em. Sure speed up snaring and lighten the load of rebar.
100% reusable and no welding required!
