If in brush place a duck und stick across trail, not 100% but will reduce your knock down and deer catches. Sometimes will make young deer duck into your snares also though. Wide open game trails are normally deer trails, coyotes will also use more discrete trails that deer do not frequent as often. Look at tracks, see whos using what and where.
Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

As much as people seem to hate'm, I use BAD's or Break Away Devices on all my snares. Of course as of this year MN has made them mandatory on all snares. Regardless I would make sure you carry a catch pole with you.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

If you have to set snares in a area where deer are common I strongly would not recommend using a " jump stick " unless you want to start getting kicked off the property because you're catching and killing deer because of it.
Don't rely on a BAD 100% of the time either common sense works well if it's used to avoid non target catches . A big bait station a dead cow or horse that hasn't been injected with antibiotics in a brushy coulee or area and wait for the coyotes to discover it will will show you better spots to set snares but deer like coyotes are a creature of habit if they walk down a trail once it will happen again so don't set a snare there it will keep you from a visit with the game warden and will help improve your relationship with the land owner and positive word of mouth will open doors for more and other places to trap and snare on . If you want to remove the lock off of a snare then form a loop the size you plan to use but wrap scotch tape around it so a loops formed and hang it under a " jump stick " then brush out the tracks in the dirt chances are a deer will beat a coyote to it over 75% of the time and will tear the single wrap of tape . It's the same thing at a fence crawl under if there's deer hair caught in a barb on the fence or laying on the ground don't set the snare there !
We as consumptive users of the natural renewable resources are under the microscope enough as it is so why give anyone a excuse to say or think badly of what we all enjoy and love because of a bad choice .
Anyone who will tell you differently isn't worth listening to because it's not them that will get the ticket it will be you ! There isn't a coyote anywhere worth the risk of a non target catch. Allan

I had a live deer In a snare last year I knocked It down and pinned it and took the snare off and It ran away. It was a fawn so It wasn't all that hard I don't know abut an adult deer.
And In my opinion jump sticks don't work for the most part. And large carcass dumps seem to attract as many deer as they do coyotes.

In "NEWT'S WORLD"
Jump sticks will put more deer in your snares Jump sticks? They should call them dive sticks. Because that’s what a LOT of yearlings and fawns will do.

More in "NEWT'S WORLD" A 200# deer would rather go under a obstuction in his trail set at 17" .Than go over it. It takes less engery to go under.
Any BAD that will hold a coyote. Will hold a neck cought deer.
