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.

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?
