Fremont Foot Snare - Is it Worth it? 

Glad it was useful!

No problem!

Glad it was helpful!

Ralph Cheek Y'all have it good down there! Great place!

The Meat Trapper, Yes, we do. Our game laws are pretty generous to us outdoorsman, thanks in part, to a lot of outdoors men and women in our state's Congress, who share our commitments to the outdoors and conservation of it for our future generations, as well as this, Louisiana, being the sportsman's paradise state.

Ralph Cheek I WISHED we had that in Washington State Government. Ours are not so "Outdoorsman Friendly" as yours, but we make do.

C McClellan ,I wish you did too. My fellow Louisianaians, understand that the first true conservationalists were, and are sportsman. We only take what we need to eat, and leave the rest. I've hunted and fished in states from Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, to Ohio, and I don't always agree with some of the game laws in those states, I still abide by them, and hope someday they can be changed.

THIS is what they are here in WA. NOT impossible, but........: IT IS UNLAWFUL TO TRAP FOR WILD ANIMALS: With body-gripping traps EXCEPT by permit to abate an animal problem under WAC 232-12-142. This includes, but not limited to, padded foothold traps, unpadded foot-hold traps, all snares, and conibear type traps. (Common rat and mouse traps are not considered body-gripping traps.) Unless traps are checked and animals removed within 72 hours (kill traps). Unless animals captured in restraining traps (any nonkilling set) are removed within 24 hours of capture. Using game birds, game fish, or game animals for bait, except nonedible parts of game birds, game fish, or game animals may be used as bait. (The meat of furbearers is not considered edible.) Within thirty feet of any exposed meat bait or nonedible game parts which are visible to flying raptors. As they say: "It is what it is!" I plan on moving to a more "Trapping and snaring friendly" State as soon as I can!

I came close recently - but ran out of time on my last trip.

Congratulations on the certification! The Fremont throws very high up on the leg for a solid catch, but it requires digging a huge bed. The Belisle foot snare beds more like a trap, smaller, shallower bed. But it's more complicated to set. Both are good. Be sure to use 7x19 twist cable for the foot snare, that is very important. 7x19 is very ropey and flexible compared to 7x7 or 1x19 . Good luck!

@@Meattrapper thank you very much I'll be looking into these 2 soon to keep in my bag of tricks as I learn more through wco work keep doing what your doin brother love the videos and the information is invaluable!

Yes, they work. For hogs under 200 pounds or so, regular earth anchors are fine, if you have huge ones, look at something like a large, screw in mobile home anchor and a shock spring like what is used on swimming pool covers.

I think the best way to trap hogs and deer is by using a neck snare. I cover this extensively in my "Resistance Trapping" video course which is available by subscription at www.patreon.com/meattrapper. Thank you for watching.

Yes sir. Call Brian and tell him the size hogs you are dealing with, and he'll fix you up. Tell him you know me. He's a good guy!

Will do, thanks.

Samuel Berrong My understanding is that a powered footsnare is legal in Alabama as long as the loop is 6" or less in diameter.

The Meat Trapper Crap. My Belisles are 8 inch I think...

Chris Gilliam Honestly I don't think anybody down here really cares.

I don't think Brian has these. I know fntpost.com does.

Thank you (saying that alot lately, lol) I'll check with them. Think 2 - 3 would be worthwhile to have "in the toolbox".

Yes
