I like it!

Good idea!

No Thanks!!!!

3/4 rod 42" long what the heck for?. I've seen more effective and efficient snare setups than that. 1/2 rebar stake with support wire twisted on would do the same thing and be much simpler.

It's not for me but it should do ok. Don't stop trying or looking for better ways, learning. It's what makes us all better trappers.

For me, I don't think its a good idea to have the swiveling for coyotes, it'll lead to chew outs. Some states you have to have swivels though, but most of those states wouldn't allow a 3/4" rod sticking up to potentially tangle on.

Just a couple unsolicited tips,,,, I don't like those support collars at all, they don't hold tight enough to the support wire. A real metal wammy being the best IMO followed by tubing of some sort as a viable option. Also a small loop vs. a sharp bend in the end of your snare will lead to smoother, faster closing snares.

I use 1/2" rebar like Yes Sir mentioned but with my set up they are designed to kill the coyotes ASAP to reduce chances of them chewing out.

Wondering what is point for 42" of 3/4" rod if it's not for entanglement, wouldn't a trap stake serve the same purpose with your support collar?

Well if youre not any further than 10 feet from the truck I guess it would work. Not my cup of tea but to each their own.

I'd say he's as new to coyote snaring as that gadget !

I appreciate the creativity. But it's a lot of extra weight to carry, takes up room, and I can just wrap a wire around a stick that I find on the ground just as easily.

Calling it a gadget is a good name for it.

Well ok I reckon I see a use for this.feomwhat I'm seeing he wants a live yote. If that's the deal then yeah I can understand this to a degree did something similar a while back dude to dogs. Workd pretty good but it had it's issues

DTB. Nice work on your snare system catch a few dozen coyotes and they will point out the weak parts in your system? Sorry i do not know the trapping laws where you trap? Most land owners would not allow you to use a 3/4" shaft for trap stakes! I did not see a break away system on the snare, very important. Myself I prefer a 3 part separate system for snaring coyotes. The snare special made for coyotes, snare support and solid anchor system. Most of the time I can tie off to a big sage brush or small tree just use whatever works best for the location.

Then offer him some help.

Another tool for the box

I am new to trapping. My first season trapping coyotes was last season. Caught 20 coyotes trapping on the same 7 acres. Six of which I snared using this exact set-up.

Love that collective photo of your catch DTB.
Keep up the hard work and have a good time. Look forward to seeing your future catches. 20 yotes on 7 acres is impressive

DonnyTrapperBoy,
I like the fact that you're thinking about different/better ways to do things......and you're sharing it.

This is more than many trappers will do as you can see from some of the posts above. Some even sound jealous.

Keep after 'em!!!

It's a constant learning experience. Good job and keep at it. I for one really like to see stuff like this. Thinking out side the box.

Im sure theres guys out there that might be in a similar situation as the OP that could use such a system. Just because you dont find yourself in the same situation means that an idea isnt useful
