With 1/16 1/19 are you running a long snare for coyotes and cats and is there an advantage over 5/64?

I use a five foot snare for coyotes and cats. Same snare if setting for coon. Though that is very seldom. I add whatever extension(s) I need to get to something solid or I stake them solid with a wolf fang.

I have a lot of light grassy areas and like the 1/16” because it seems to disappear with the light grassy areas whereas the 5/64 and 3/32 are more noticeable. I use kill springs and rarely have one alive. I still have a lot of 5/64” snares and are slowly using them up. Fence lines mostly or heavier cover where they blend easier.

I also stake or tie off solid. The breakaway devices cannot work as intended if they are not tied off to something solid.


Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.
