When making snares with the senneker triggers be sure to put the triggers on the opposite way, so this does not happen to you. Not only was it not an instant kill like the other one we got the same day, it was a nightmare to try and cut the snare off the neck without any cable to get to with the cutter.

Ouch! But you got him!

could be because your trigger is on the ferrules instead of the spring.

Ryan the wolf did that when he hit the end of the snare, the trigger was set holding the spring together, after the catch it got pushed behind the stops and wedged in place.

Mine worked Just giving you a hard time I like the system, the only thing I don't like is when those dang spring pop during transport. PITA resetting them in the freezing cold.

The only thing we use them for are wolves and wolverine, about 3/4 make it to site without springing open. I followed the senneker instructions on which way it should go on his Youtube video, but apparently you know more about this than he does LOL, which you had shown me that picture before i made 10 dozen

I didn't watch the video, I looked at a pic on the snare shop, https://www.snareshop.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SPTRIG and built them from there. Don't feel to bad, I once did 5 dozen snares with the loc's on backwards........ stuff happens

Yes ..... about half of mine pop open in transport and boy are they ever a pain trying to reset in the field
when it's cold !!
Anyone with ideas of a good way to handle these things to stay set while bouncing around on the snowgo ... I'm all ears !

I use one of those 2 1/2 gallon buckets, the first time out half of the dang things popped from jostling around, I ended up putting a game bag in the bottom of the bucket and one on top, wedging them in there. Reduced the problem.

I'm wondering if some of you have the old triggers. They were very touchy and would spring very easily. The new ones have a number stamped on them, the old ones just plain. So far there has not been the same problem with the new triggers.

Okay. I see now. I’m thinking a couple strokes of a file would prevent that from happening again. You still got the wolf though so that’s good. Right on man.

I have the new ones, the best way to transport them is tight fitting them in a tote and using big canvas game bags for padding. works pretty well.

Do the kill springs and triggers only work with camlocs?

I run them with slim loc's, no problems.

The new triggers are not going off for me on the trail, set them on the side 10 o'clock position, with a washer between the stop and spring. Did learn the hard way to make sure your catch has tripped the trigger, releasing the spring before cutting off the end of your snare to remove the animal, (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) spring just about cost me an eye!

On the older triggers that are touchy you can use a 3 cornered file and file the trigger portion in a tiny bit on an angle and that will make them hold a bit better. I even thought about trying a tiny round file to just create a small indent to help them hold better. In any case I have a hundred snares made up with the old triggers and the smaller springs which I am slowly dismantling and changing over to the magnum spring and new clips. They were made with a roll of wire that had a bad memory in any case and giving me a lot of setting grief.
