@@NLGhostWolf Yeah once you see it done it makes total sense. Most people just do an unloaded snare. Most make them circular to, not 4x4.5" which also make s a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing this!
I'm glad it was helpful, and like you I was raised on wild meat and rabbit was one of those wild meats we harvested fall and winter when needed. Back then it was normally a week of snaring in the fall for our years supply of rabbits.
Best how to on snaring I’ve seen yet! I’m going to set a few behind my camp this weekend. Here’s hoping! Oh, and when you said find a stick, my first thought was the rack on my snowmobile. Thanks for sharing!
New sub. here. 35 years years ago my father taught me how to use pike leaders. But don't do what he did living in town; snare a rabbit using a broken fishing pole for for the tension rod lifting the rabbit off the ground just enough to jump around but not killing it. glad thing were different in the olden days.....
Welcome to the channel, I have over 300 videos here from Guiding moose hunters, to trapping, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, kayaking, camping, moose calling, grouse calling, rabbit snaring, SxS adventures and cook-ups. You name it, I have some here. How to use a GPS etc... Hope you find a few videos that interest you.
Thank you to show us that technique I saw it on you other video few weeks ago and I could not get it done but with this video you explain it really good Thanks again Charlie
We sure do or did set enough of them over the years. Bottling rabbits in the fall and winter sure did feed us many times growing up. We had rabbit, chicken, moose, caribou, and fish at less once a week.
Thanks for the clear explanation. Brass wire seems to be rare in my part of the world, but I do have stainless, copper and galvanised steel. My sister in law has a rabbit problem in her vineyard, and shooting in some directions on her property is risky. I've trapped dozens of feral hogs and brushtailed possums. I've snared a few rabbits, but now I want to get serious. I appreciate your help. Best wishes from New Zealand.
It works great Norm I did a video a few years back on how to make fox and lynx snares and it that video I show you how to load cable snares as well. A properly loaded cable snare is oval in shape, wider than it is tall. When you see teardrop shaped cable snares they are not properly loaded. I load all my snares even coyote and when I was living in Goose Bay I showed a few of the boys up there how to load the Wolf snares. Loaded snares spring closed and the animals can't back out of them.
Joe the hunter should have the export permit for the antlers issues to him from the outfitter he went through. They will have to be shipped and upon entry into the states it will have to clear customs. He might even have to hire a Broker at customs to clear up the paperwork. Normally the taxidermist will ship this back to them if all the proper paperwork has been filed... It's really in the hunters hands now to make the arrangements to transport his antlers back. The best way for hunters to do this is by going through taxidermists that is recommended by the outfitter in that area. Your buddy, the hunter and maybe the outfitter (but at this point and time the outfitter is out of the equation and it's no longer his responsibility.) So your buddy and the hunter have to do their research to ensure they've dotted their I's and crossed their T's to ensure it can be transported without issues at the border. Holton is one shipping company they can contact who I believe are based out of NB. The way we operate is once a hunter gets his animal the guide will sit down with him and help him fill out his export permit and other doc's.
hopefully this gets seen. I started playing with this I'm using stainless. I'm having trouble with the loop twisting after opened and loaded. maybe have a tutorial on making the loop I'm failing somewhere 🤦🏼
Charlie what gauge wire do you use? Here in Alaska we have no restrictions on snare material. The past 2 winters I've been using store bought small diameter cable snares with micro locks, but way too many of the rabbits were still alive in the snare because their fine fur jams the lock and prevents it from closing all the way.. So this year I will be using stainless steel wire snares for the first time, but I have no idea what gauge to use.. thanks for the great instructional video, Cheers from Alaska
Yes unfortunately the 22 gauge brass wire breaks far to easily. But to be totally honest, I very rarely get broken snares and often catch multiple rabbits in each snare. The trick is to load each and every snare so it closes tightly and quickly.
If you are on the island of Newfoundland you have to use 22 gauge brass wire. It breaks easily so I recommend loading all your snares to unsure the snare closes quickly and very tightly so the rabbit passes quickly. Check out my video os the 12 minute rabbit. Rabbit passes within 30 seconds.
I will get back to you shortly Joe... Might not be able to if it's a gift, I seen my uncle give a beautiful set of moose antlers to my other uncle who lived in the states and he was not allowed to take it through customs. I have a couple of good contacts I will check with to see if it can be done. If they were the holder of the licenses that got the moose it is no issue if not it might take a letter of the holder of the license to get it passed through customs... Let me look into for you.
That’s an efficient set up but unfortunately completely illegal in my state lol. No snarling for me I have to use a bow or firearm for small game. That’s a super survival snare set up for sure.
You can get it at BlueRidge apparently but I've looked and couldn't see it there online or you can deal directly with filcor in QC. order the 22ga brass. However if it is legal I would prefer 22 ga Stainless steel wire over the brass. But many places it is illegal to use stainless steel wire so make sure you know your rules and regs...
@@NLGhostWolf oh, those american standarts! )) 1 inch = 25.4mm Sorry for question I'm from Siberia, Russia. Tell me the thickness in inches. It will be okey.
I was always super anal about the specific diameter a snare should be. What if it's too big and the rabbit just passes through? What if it's too small and the rabbit doesn't want to pass through? This basically solves all my problems lol.
definitely not better catch loop for a couple of reasons. #1. loop wraps are way to long making that area of the snare to stiff to choke out the rabbit quickly. #2 the figure 8 don't allow the snare to slide close as quickly on a loaded snare. Interesting vid though...
Very elegant! I don't think I've seen anyone else who knows how to load a snare on YT.
I've been doing this ever since I can remember. Works great.

Snaring rabbits was a way of life in ireland till the mid 80s, and i ate a lot of rabbit🙄, but i learned something from this video, well done man👍
I'm glad it was helpful, and like you I was raised on wild meat and rabbit was one of those wild meats we harvested fall and winter when needed. Back then it was normally a week of snaring in the fall for our years supply of rabbits.
It's about time , twenty videos later finally get the info I needed. Thx
good
Really enjoy your content. Very informative and encourages us all to get out and enjoy what nature has to offer, especially here in NL.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank You!...decided to go looking through your videos on this topic and I wasn't disappointed.
Glad it was helpful!

Another quality video. And yeah I was making mine wrong. Thanks to you and your channel.. I'm on my way to success. Thanks Brother
Glad to help, please keep me posted on your results
Well done.....exactly how I was taught about 50 years ago!!!
Thanks it's the best way I know of to set them
What a great tutorial. Now that's how a snare should close👍
Thanks my friend glad you liked it
Thanks for posting this.
You're welcome
Hey Charlie, pretty well a given for me too, along with twine to tie it on the small crossbar I use.
Right on, I like the cross bar sets to.
Great video! Thanks for the valuable info!

Thanks for watching, much appreciated
Nice info buddy.!
Thanks Rodney
THANKS FOR THE INFO .
No problems
That's awesome
Glad you enjoyed it.
ok thanks, its a licence holder from the states that my friend has done up his antlers and skull for him
That makes it easier... I'm calling my buddy now.

Привет!!! Я делаю из тросика силок или нихром, надо попробовать твой вариант. Класс!
thanks
Good trick, thanks a lot...how long your snare?
22" long before I put in the eyelet
Congrats on a million views, like the old saying, the first million is the hardest...lol
Thanks, Going to do a little give-away for this milestone.
great job,that's the way i do it ,i also do it on coyote snares.how is the weather it's raining over again.take care
I haven't been outside yet today but we have at least a foot of fresh snow out there this morning.
Thx😊
Welcome 😊
How long is brass wire and what diameter?
Thanks, really enjoy your videos.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them. 22" long and 22 gauge brass wire
hopefully this gets seen.
I started playing with this I'm using stainless.
I'm having trouble with the loop twisting after opened and loaded.
maybe have a tutorial on making the loop I'm failing somewhere 🤦🏼
Larry, some wire coils like a spring, very hard to work with when trying to load the snare.
Charlie what gauge wire do you use? Here in Alaska we have no restrictions on snare material.

22 ga should work out great for you.
I usually buy the rabbit wire from Canadian tire or home hardware stores but always have a problem with them braking off
Yes unfortunately the 22 gauge brass wire breaks far to easily. But to be totally honest, I very rarely get broken snares and often catch multiple rabbits in each snare. The trick is to load each and every snare so it closes tightly and quickly.
Hey hows it going again what gauge of wire an what kind do you recommend for rabbits copper or stainless steel

Work 0.4mm ?
Charlie, I would if you can help me , I need to ship a moose skull complete with the rack to Texas , who can I use as a carrier??

hey man hows it going? what gauge wire are you using ?
It's going great and 22ga Brass corfil wire
hey again, where do you buy your wire?

However if it is legal I would prefer 22 ga Stainless steel wire over the brass. But many places it is illegal to use stainless steel wire so make sure you know your rules and regs...
Will it work on small rabbits
yes
Can we use 24gauge wire??
just check your state or provincial laws and use what they define as legal wire
is it okey to use diameter of wire 0.6mm ?
not sure what .6mm equals in standard measurement of gauge?
@@NLGhostWolf oh, those american standarts! )) 1 inch = 25.4mm Sorry for question I'm from Siberia, Russia. Tell me the thickness in inches. It will be okey.
How many mm of fox trap cable?
rabbit trap cable how many mm?
please write
thanks
Are you asking what's the over all length of a fox snare and the over all length of a rabbit snare?
NLGhostWolf no. Ask for the thickness of the cable ? mm?
Sample : 0,60 mm ör 2,00 mm ör 4,00 mm
Rabbit ; ? mm
Fox. ; ? mm
Thank you
Rabbit wire is 22 gauge brass wire and fox cable is 1/16"
👍🇸🇪❤️
thanks
why brass instead of SS?
because brass breaks easier for the welfare of the pine marten. We have to use 22 gauge brass wire.
Wire diameter? 0.025?
we have to use 22 gauge brass
How mm is that wire
not sure the mm but it's 22 gauge brass wire.
@@NLGhostWolf where can i find and for what uses that wire
@@NLGhostWolfcan work beading brass wire made in china ? i found very cheap
👏👏Grazie, non parlo inglese, che diametro mm è il filo??????🤔🤔👍🏼😉
thanks
I was always super anal about the specific diameter a snare should be. What if it's too big and the rabbit just passes through? What if it's too small and the rabbit doesn't want to pass through? This basically solves all my problems lol.
Glad to help, best of luck out there
No new skidoo /cooking videos?
Not yet, I'll try to get some video soon and post it. Been very busy cutting logs.
Rubbing snares on ever-green tree's work the best because of more tree sap lol
I'll have to start growing them in my house for my next snaring vid, haha.... Thanks for watching
NLGhostWolf you can or wate till you get in the woods to rub the snares like I do lol
Here is the better way to make your little catch loop. Like a little figure 8.ua-cam.com/video/eFa5uHP-AvE/v-deo.html
definitely not better catch loop for a couple of reasons. #1. loop wraps are way to long making that area of the snare to stiff to choke out the rabbit quickly. #2 the figure 8 don't allow the snare to slide close as quickly on a loaded snare.
Interesting vid though...
