So here Is a stump-er. Last year I caught a nubbin buck In CR. The CR was hung 12" off the ground and since we have loop size with stop button the loop was 12". That nubbin buck got It's head and both feet through that 12" loop and was caught behind both shoulders. It was dead with no catch circle I'm still trying to figure that one out.

I have not caught any deer in last few years in snares, but I am almost positive you could lay a snare flat on the ground in a deer trail and one would find a way to get tied up in it.
Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

And whitetails are ten times worse to work around than mulies.
I swear whitetails will come and screw up a set every night. Mule deer seem to do it once, satisfy their curiosity, than are done with it. I have this issue with elk herds on flat ground out here... As for snare sticks / not H seems to help

Well this thread is a bit of a disappointment. I thought it was going to be about how to snare deer. Newts snaring for survival book should have a chapter on snaring deer? I know how to snare moose,but we dont have deer,so never learned that.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Remove the deer stop and hang your loops a bit higher and you will catch more deer. LOL Most of my knock downs are leg related. The snare Is pulled out and cinched down top that 3 1/2 Inch circle. Remove that deer stop and your going to have all kinds of foot caught deer.

NO Beav, To catch more deer lower you loops 10 to 12"" loop, 8" 10"off walking surface If you have a deer stop,Leave the deer stop for neck snaring deer.
Leg snaring NO deer stop
