PSK snare advice

[Mortblanc]

For somewhere around 2 million years humans snared bunnies on every continent of the globe using natural cordage.

Even Homo Erectus could do it and his brain was half the size of yours, I am assuming big time there.

Don't over think, over complicate, or over tech snare construction. Trapping is more about knowing the animal than how excellent your snare wire is.

The Thompson snares are hi-tech due to the likely hood that the user would be left with only one usable arm. They were issued complete and ready to use, just find a good set and tie them to a limb or stake them out.

My kits contain rolls of soft iron wire from the hardware store, around 20ga but not certain since the last roll I bought was 10 years back and the label is gone.

A guitar string will work, so will soft iron wire, military trip wire, strands removed from military com wire, heavy fishing line, steel leader wire, or cotton string from the pound store.

Study your ground, how the animals travel, where they den, and make plenty of sets. Snaring is a numbers game. You don't set just one and expect it to produce a bunny a day.

Now if this is a Monty Python bunny all bets are off! you will need grenades, lots of grenades!
