I’m getting into fox snaring. It’s easier on my hands than setting traps. I’m looking for a video on this subject . Any recommendations?
So far, I’ve snared a pile or coon and beaver. It’s hard to miss their trails so setting them up is easy. But fox trails and crawl-unders don’t come so easy. It would be nice to review a video or two.

You dont need trails to snare foxes,although you can snare them on man made trails. If you have fox just set a few snares in some thicker brush and bait them in with a good sized bait either buried with a scent hole or covered with debris. Easy as snaring rabbits.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I found a couple faint trails under an old fence and set them up a couple feet out from the fence. The first one caught a huge possum. The second has produced 3 reds. I’m using a short snare in either 5/64 1x19 or 5/64 7x7. The loop is ~6.5 inches and 6-7 inches off the ground. I just need another 100 locations and I’ll be in business.
