lol im 9 Create a small loop at the end of the wire. In the photo below I’ve weighted the LEADER LINE with a 10 pound rock that applies tension to the TRIGGER.
Pick the ones that seem to have your target critter using them (meaning if there are huge hoofprints or paw prints and you can’t discern any little tracks, find another game trail or run) and set your traps.Primitive trapping is illegal in most places and definitely in my neck of the woods…er…desert. While some folks have evidently caught animals using heavy monofilament, I've had a lot of disappointments with it. Now you need to know how to set a snare trap.Regardless of your situation, you need to build some hunting and foraging skills. Exigent circumstances may negate that illegality.Back to the trigger…..cut a small 5 – 6” length of wood 1 ½” to 2” thick and about a third of the way from an end, score it about 1/8” deep all the way around with your camp saw or drywall saw. If I determined there are game and what kind, for instance, rabbits, then I decide what kind of traps I am going to make and where I might put them.Out of respect for the environment and fear of the law, I would not strip the ancillary branches and leaves but in exigent circumstances (ie: you are hopelessly lost and hungry) you can strip the sapling, reducing the weight, and thus increase its power. I used the bark from a root as the LEADER LINE and a NOOSE made from braided cattail leaves–this is a 100% primitive snare set.Your ENGINE (whether a sapling, branch, or weighted system) should be powerful enough to suspend a small game animal in the air. Shelter, water, fire, and signaling are typically more immediate concerns. Gives me a chance to think about the lay of the land.
I had her cut the pieces of stick we would need in advance from private property with permission. The best place to put the snare is along an obvious and well-used trail through the forest.The free-standing snare is easy to set up.
The noose in the photo above is made from the inner strands of 550 paracord. First, you need to tie the free end of the noose to the trigger stick and set it under power. Set up some trapping lines as well, so even if the fish do not bite, something else might.
Step 2: Too the Woods We Go. Again, the movements of the animal cause this snare to tighten.You will also need two smaller sticks that each have a protruding piece that will allow the two sticks to hook together. So obey the law and when walking that fine line betwixt legal and illegal while practicing primitive trap building, be law abiding………….and discreet.Either way, watch out that you keep all your fingers so you don’t have to practice one-handed first aid.)
The ENGINE (typically a bent over sapling) provides tension to the HOOK which is secured under the BASE–until an animal disengages it by pulling on the NOOSE. It needs to be strong enough to withstand the initial “spring jerk” and then the weight of the suspended (and struggling) animal. The stick can be used as is or bent over a log or large rock.These are useful for running trigger lines for trip wires to signal devices, flares, and even tin cans with pebbles – as well as for running snare lines.This snare will capture the rabbit, which will dislodge the trigger causing the sapling or branch to lift the catch off the ground, tightening the snare loop and effectively strangling it. We are aiming for the bunnies head.They will den in holes, usually inter-connected to form warrens so watch out as there will be more than one way in and out. I’ve even created triggers that have hooked onto nearby rock ledges. Back to the bunnies …. 3,910.
Make sure the animal must put its head through the noose to access a baited trigger.For short term survival (1-7 days), food is not a critical priority. Cordage snares don’t always dispatch your critters.
