That's pretty cool Charlie. I gotta hand it to you for reviving this tried and true method. I got enough rabbits but I could try it out for a fresh one. I saw that done when I was a kid. This old guy used much the same thing. I just passed it off.
I can't wait to try that system out. I was out today checking snares and I finally caught one - first of 2023 and first of this season. I was so excited I forgot I had a trail cam on that snare! I'll have to remember to get it tomorrow.
@@NLGhostWolf I don't believe so. There appears to be alot of rabbits. I had one snare break and another was ripped out of the ground completely. Also. I'm seeing a lot of food around, from lack of high snow and the abundance of downed trees from the hurricane. The hare just aren't hungry enough to fall for snare boxes.
Hope you didn't have to walk back and forth too many times to grab the camera when filming that outro! 🤣🤣 The hard work you put into these videos is certainly appreciated by all of us subscribers!
I need to walk a lot more truth be known LOL. Thanks for the kind words my friend and I have two new mods for tomorrow. If people are not re-evaluating how they set snares now here with the 22 gauge brass wire, they must be having far less breakages then I experienced this fall.
I think I originally started watching your channel because of your snowmobile videos. Now you've got me thinking about getting into trapping rabbits. One pile of them over my way. Thanks for putting this together, nice video
Good catch there Charlie , it seems the line takes the shock out of the wire ,,I bet you will get a lot less brake offs..I got a fire stick for Christmas and you videos are amazingly better on the big screen than the laptop..can't wait for your skidoo videos :)..no snow here in NS
Ed, I can go for a ski-doo ride now, Only got to go about 1 km behind the house to the top of the first hill, they are snowmobiling in from there and in the hills there is over 20 feet of snow.
Working out great! Hammer idea is genius! the ground is pretty well frozen here too, I might try a smaller hammer with a piece of rebar or a metal rod attached to it on a string..so you can tap it in with multiple blows and the then pull it out by hauling on the string. Just waiting for snow here! Ain't got a rabbit yet this season 😆 Happy snaring!
Sounds great! It's been a crazy year, I can go snowmobiling just 1 km behind the house. Once you get up on the high ground there is plenty of snow. But tonight, we are getting more rain. I hate trailering the ski-doo
Same run? Yes by. Do you find the brass kinks are easier to fix than stainless? Another great video. The visual of the rope twisted it perfect. You can really understand how they break free. Cool!
no, a hard kink and the wire is done, So far no kinks just bends that I was able to straighten out. Yes, I counted 7 twists in the rope but there might have been more before I moved the rabbit.
That should work too, The beauty of these mods, is that anyone can do it and add or remove mods as needed to suit their needs. Two new mods coming in todays video.
Great Results With Your New Snares, Keep On Keeping On, Charlie ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks, you too!

I'm glad this triggered some old memories for you. Let me know if you have success.
Yes indeed
Nice catches . wreck of the old 97 played that song for yrs now
It's a nice tune.

Hey Congrats, do you think lime disease is killing any rabbits there?

Yes Mark I'm pretty happy about that.

Go for it! Rabbit stew or rabbit pie, some tasty... Hoping to get out on the ski-doo in the near future.
Love it
Must say that's a pretty good way of setting snares. Good job and good video.
Glad you think so!
Sum happy 2 see you having fun u deserve it .
Thanks Kevin, much appreciated
Wonderful
Good going Charlie. System seems to work well.
I think so too!
Flawless , none of them are getting away with the new setup. Awesome
two new mods coming in todays video and a new pinch pole idea/set....
Excellent comment
kam8zi kichi wligen! once again you've forever changed the way I trap! I'm gonna use that on the twitch up snare sets too
I truly hopes it works well for you. Waiting for my batteries to charge so I can show you another two mods and one set idea....

I’m getting very excited, can’t wait to check my snares. I set up five toggle snares, going out bright and early. Keep the videos coming.
Good luck! I hope you are carrying 5 rabbits out of the woods today
Wonderful

Good stuff Charlie
Thanks Aiden
Thats what Im talking about! Awesome! 🔥👏👏👏
Appreciate it!! Glad you enjoyed it
Good job buddy
Thanks 👍
Happy to see your success on trapping rabbit. Can you show the connection of the snare and string onto the pinch pole?
I'll do a video tomorrow showing all the major components to making this work
Good catches and good eating
Yes indeed
Gonna switch over to the big screen. So my boy can watch too and learn more.
Good stuff
Two bunnies for grandma‘s pot.
Woot woot!
I shared these rabbits with a neighbour... Good People

You’re welcome 😊
What if you used a wire trout leader swivel instead of a toggle thoes leaders are strong
That should work too, The beauty of these mods, is that anyone can do it and add or remove mods as needed to suit their needs. Two new mods coming in todays video.
Love it
thanks
Great stuff
Try some tared twine ,won't take on water as fast.
I'll have to look for some, thanks for the tip
Cool video. I also hunt an snare rabbits here in Edmonton Alberta.
