    Man I should have taken that shot. Maybe, betcha I would have missed. Man I should have taken that shot.

  2. Passing on the Knowledge

    It seems to me, as the years pass, the ability of man to provide for himself in the wild has become a lost art.

    Stabilizing Snares
    To function properly, the snare loop must be held in a fixed position to intercept the animal. Heavy gauge wire works best for stabilizing snares. One end of the wire is affixed to the snare, and the other end of the wire is anchored to make it stable.
