here is a thread on snares for ya
http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ghlight=snares
I used to make snares all the time when I was a kid.
I accidentally forgot where I put one once and ended up hanging upside down from a sapling. Good thing I had a knife on me to cut the rope.
I never made that mistake again.

Are you making sure you study the animal to make sure that they use the trail with your snare on it / funnel them in ?

Go the thread on trapping... duh...
There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.
how do you snare
Welcome to the forum, Beaver. How about going to the Introduction section and telling us a bit about yourself?
You can read up on snaring here on the web site:

If you are after quail , grouse or other small animals 8 to 12 lbs fishing line works well, Anchor one end of the line and tie a series of slip knots connecting them in a clump.
You can either place this is a travel zone or place some type of food source under it.
It will tangler and tighten around feet and heads.
Light weight and compact. You can carry several hundreds yards under 6 ounces.
Trip Line, fishing and many othe uses.

When asked what I felt when I shot him, I answered a slight recoil.
Fishing line does make very good snares and is strong enough for birds and small animals. Make a good sized knot though, because it easily tangled. I'd recommend a roll of brass snare wire to anyone out there. Lightweight, easy to pack around
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
is brass beter the stainless steel ?, iv never used brass because i cant buy it in bulk locally. if you recommend it i might try out a roll though.

brass is great because it holds a cinch well [creases and resists opening back up when slacked] and because it's a dirt cheap material.

To see what's going on in my knife shop check out CanidArmory on Youtube or on Facebook.
Copper wire is another option. All three work well, won't rust and are soft enough to form.
