I bought a dozen pigtail snare supports and I'll be darned if I know how to use them. there must be something else that goes with them. would it be posible for someone to draw me a sketch of how to set it up ? thanks for any help.

A rebar stake (1/2") slide thru the coils. Slip that same stake thru the snare end swivel too and drive into ground at snare location.

I buy annealed "black" #9 wire and wrap my own, then it'll be welded to the stake where the vice grips are in my picture above. It's the very best snare support for supporting snares off the ground. Works great on killpoles too.

Here’s a vid, they’re pretty slick but I haven’t used em much yet.
On a side note, this is an older vid. After a lot more testing in the field, this Lightsout system is more effective with a short snare. You don’t want them running 10’ after the snare drops down. Entanglement is not something you want with them……..if you’re using these kill systems.

ADC… I really need to make some of those just for pigs. I just have to figure out how to anchor them in, I have some garage door springs laying around I figured I could use for shock springs… I need to retire so I can work on some projects lol.

For hogs.....your best option is to anchor to a tree.

Now that is a kill spring!!!

Other than the size, what's the difference between your snare and a Ram? I don't see any mechanical system difference. With a Ram, you can use a stake anywhere you can pound it in and don't need a tree, plus, the spring acts as the support.................... the mike

Is this directed at my post, Lightsout or Senneker vs Rams?

Yes to the direction as we watched the video. Wondering about this usage of a pigtail in areas w/o close trees for a support. All the spring loaded snare designs seem to have the same theme, just the spring size is different. Using a Ram you put it anywhere with a stake and its spring is the support. It is expensive and cumbersome (in the truck) but my game cam shows a 2 minute + or - time frame from catch to death, plus you can modify a much more sensitive trigger system than either Lightsout or Senneker for use on a variety of different furbearers. Lightsout and Sennecker are easier to carry and store and cost less. BUT the MECHANICS are the same from this side of the fence unless I am missing something................... the mike...... P.S. that double twist of wire (around) will damage/kill a tree in this area and when you have plenty like you folks do its not and issue. Here where 5 mature trees constitute a State Park its a concern LOL. ............... the mike again
