a plug for Rally Hess

Bought some snares from him about a year and a half ago when the FTA show was in Lawrence. Just started using them in the last week. 1X19 5/64 about ten feet long, camlock with teeth and those springs that look like mini bodygrip springs. These things work. Dead coyotes. Doesn't look like it takes long either. Havn't done anything to them except hang them. If that type of snare is legal where you live do yourself a favor and get some. Haven't snared any cats with them. Don't see where I missed any either. I suspect they close easy enough for cats too. I don't remember now what I paid for them but remember thinking it was worth it over building and loading them. Everyone I unwound was just like the one before. Haven't needed to tweak any yet

Rally makes and sells very good snares. He is also very helpful to those that make their own with supplies and advice. I always look forward to doing business with him.

Yes Danny they close easy enough for cats. He made me some about that long ago as well, stand wire included. Top notch snares.
His beaver set ups are terrific as well and I do not use them to there full potential like the really good beaver guys here do.

Rally is a heck of a guy alright! When ya said a plug I thought maybe he sprung a leak.

Zim

Good to know.

Rally is one heck of a guy, a veteran, and a great guy to do business with.

I run Rally's snares on my beaver lines. They are great!!!

BE CAREFUL with Rally and his snares! He gave me some of his to "try"about 20-25 years ago. I had never snared before so he gave me a 4 minute block of instructions. The next day I had my first fox and he has had me hooked ever since. Be careful of his stuff!

One heck of a guy and a master at snaring. Just talking to him at his table has helped me immensely.

Ya I bought a bunch of his fibreglass muskrat poles to try-now all my other poles just plain suck!

He is one of the best to deal with. I have called him a time or two. When ordering he will give you expert advise backed by time in the field.
Nice guy.
Mac

Rally is top notch, all the way around! Great guy to do bussiness with.

He is the one I look for when buying my cable and snare stuff. He will take the time to explain it for a to z for you.

Rally will be doing his under ice beaver snaring demo at the FTA in Marshfield this year. He does a great demo.

Bryce

If you want custom stuff made he's the man.

Trappers are fortunate to have a guy like Rally...he sells quality goods and shares his knowledge about using them freely...what he does not share is the work involved with his big catches. He is a worker! Thanks Rally!

Couldn't agree more

I had spend some time with him at last year FTA and learn alot from him.I know him from a different site that we are both on.He told me about the work he put into beaver trapping.I did get some supplies from him also.Let him know what you looking to use the snare for and he set you up.

Does he have a website or how does one contact him?

Just text him....he will be on his Sandac chasing underwater/hard water beaver now

His number is;
218-697-8113
he rarely logs in but looks so he misses PM's

Thank you

You said it Lee. A great guy!

Rally and the snares he makes are top-notch for sure.

A week or so ago I saw him posting on here, but it seems rare. It was nice to see him on here.

When I talked to him last week,he was going to South Dakota over Christmas to hunt pheasants. Those labs need to work too.

Those labs need to play too.
