I am going to be using CRs in the runs. Anyone ever do this? How big should the loop be, how high off the ground? Thanks! And also, I have a blinking envelope next to my name. How do I check that?

Coon and beaver almost always have snare burn marks on hide side. Wasn’t sure about rats and mink. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

You might check that out as a system that was developed and used to snare a lot of rats according to the book. Seems like Thompson was not the originator of the system, he was reporting on its use.

Some of the other young trappers used snares pretty well on rats , just because they had to, not being able to afford steel traps.Our local fur buyer would trade new conibears for fur. This was when footholds were still legal. South jersey is a beautiful state filled with muskrat.New Jersey is a whole nother story. 1776 ONE MORE TIME,FREEDOM NEVER COMES FREE

It's a good video for me because I live in Port Norris and am going to be learning to trap the tidal marshes down here. I want to thank the folks here for directing me to snareone.
