I watch quite a bit from Dave Canterbury, Matt Graham, and Corporal Kelly but I don't thing it was any of them. Snaring concepts in play were horizontal limb installed between 2 active trees and snare height set at chest and so below chin line. ï¿½Whatï¿½s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.ï¿½ Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Loop size of 1 ½ inches preferred but no larger than 1 ¾ inches with height off pole of 1 inch (length of a 22LR cartridge and bullet) being my preference. For other squirrels loop size and height off pole may vary in size. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
