Your snare could be a bit to small and this is turning them. When I used to snare rabbits, we used a small gold colored wire call rabbit wire, it was quite strong and very thin. We never used gloves to set this, and it was usually kept in a drawer in the house, so scent did not seem to be a problem. We made the snare about 5 inches round, 1-3 inches off the ground, and had great luck. When you are using guide sticks, do not build a wall, make it look as natural as possible, just use a few sticks.
