Modifying and Setting Snares For Predator Trapping: "Loaded" - The Management Advantage 

I have never heard of the term "Pre-load" in conjunction with snares. I have been setting them on and off for 40 years, never with much success. Came across your video and thought I would try it. EVERY snare I tried it on had a catch the next day as opposed to having the snare dragged out of the way and no animal in it. THANK YOU!

Tom tought me how to snare! Caught a fox the first snare i set! Im still successful today some 30 + yrs. Later! Thax Tom !

Outstanding information, just started snaring about a week ago, caught a hog and a coyote before I learned this information, have had several snares pushed out of the way, looking forward to setting them up your way and increasing my success. Thank you sir.

First time snare user-- thanks for the quality tutorial. I've got three set now, looking nice and round, easy to trip. Wish me luck Y'all.

This guy is an artist when it comes to snares dang

I learned how to set up and place many traps and snares from Ragnar Benson/Larry Grupp's books. It's like anything else. Practice, practice, practice. It's damn frustrating at times. Snares seem to be making a comeback among people learning bushcraft and survival. One I have mastered is the Rock Weir trap for fish. Keep in mind that in a survival situation you will most likely expend more energy building and setting traps than you will get from the game. I've been experimenting for the last 30 years, especially with triggers. Great vid here, you got a sub

Excellent advice. I never used snares before and didn't know how to properly make a set. Thanks for the video.

You have really fine tuned the technique, I wouldn't want to be a fox in your neck of the woods!

Great video. Well taught and easy to understand. Good teacher.

Thanks a million for posting this. Incredibly helpful!

Best snare video i've seen so far. Thank you.

Very helpful! Thanks.

Very informative video, thank you for taking the time to post it.

Wonderfully done! Thank you for sharing the arts...

Thanks for educating us! Sweet setup ideas!

Thanks for the tip!! Super helpful

Very informative and great camera work, I can actually see what your describing. Thank you

You made it easy for me as I have failed 2 times at catching what ever is under my house so thanks for the info because I was doing NOTHING right.

At 57yo, raised in a small city but big college university town, i can definitely appreciate this af my FIRST share trapping video to start my learning. I found more interest in snare trapping after watching my first episode of ALONE last night 5/21/2020 and seeing how this one woman named Woniya and her 3 squirrel takes around her 65th of 100 days. And she needed the food badly.. THANK YOU Sir for my first real instruction. Q1- who made and where can i obtain those type of snares ? I imagine after i try a fewn i'll be able to make my own down the road... the first thing that struck me the 84" length but as your video progressed, i understood. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸 thanks again for concise, short and simple. Be well and stay blessed

Great video. Haven't tried snaring yet but would like to. This video will help a lot.

Awesome video! Never set traps before but my neighbor handed me a hand full. Following your instructions I caught a coon and coyote the first day! I appreciate people that share their knowledge like this it's very helpful and teaches people things they need to know.

Great stuff and thanks for sharing.

Gonna be doing first time sharing this year s nd this is by far the most helpful vid yet...

Great video ! Thanks for posting !

Nice set.

Thanks mate great video very informative really appreciate it.Good bloke. Cheers

This really helped me. Thank you.

He nailed it. He seems to be a badass fella to hang out with

Very helpful and thanks for sharing your experience it all helps. 👍👋🇬🇧

Great advice. I have never used a snare that I didn't make myself but I have been thinking about buying some just to keep in my BOB thanks for the video (liked and subscribed)

Great job, well done.

Dear Management Advantage, Thank you so much for sharing. I am new to snaring and these were fantastic tips.-Paul

Great video!

every one of your videos is great. Greetings from Serbia

This is the way we do it and it works! Great. This (maybe) is the best instructional video I've seen if you are working off a net wire (high fence) operation as we are.

Excellent advice. Thank you very much

great setup thanks for sharing

Really interesting system! 👍

excellent video!!

Great instruction video, caught two so far using these same snares and this technique. Get these snares at F&T Fur traders. Coyotes took my little Yorkie from our back yard, I'm getting revenge on them! Thanks for sharing your technique.

This is excellent. I'm not sure where the coyote is entering my yard, but know it's coming over the wall. I did see where it exited, and I want it removed permanently. This video is very helpful! Hopefully I get it before it realizes how much "prey" I'm raising back there.

Exactly the information I was looking for, thank you.

Thanks so much! Very helpful!

Great vidio

Nice trap... Good

well done

Very good thank x

Up here in Canada we have to run snares with a stinger kill spring they work fabulous

Great video! Finally, somebody made a video up and close so I can see what’s going on. I’m not sure about this whammy thing. How do you make this or where do you buy this?

Nice one from Harry sankar

I really like the cam setup on the snares you are using. All the ones I find locally have the bent piece of metal that the cable doesn’t seem to slide thru freely like this design does. I have looked at where others commented to find these but don’t see anything just like those. Where can I get that design snare. Thanks

What type of snare are you using?

Very good informative video. Last night fox got into my chicken coop and killed most of chickens...tonight fox will be back but I am prepared with superb snare and half of bloody chicken as bait. Thanks for great tutorial

Maravilha, essa forma aí é bastante eficiente, mais um inscrito like e sino marcado

thank you much i will check in facebook good video

Really like the snare your using but can't seem to find the same. Where do you buy?

How do you repair one after you have caught a coyote?

Snare cable are 2 or 3 mm wide?....thanks a lot

great video...do you have a amazon link to buy a good snare?

Can you show how y’all e-coat ur foothold traps saw it on one of your video

Can you make same video and catching the animal to show how effective it is

A fox can actually go through a woven wire fence with those size openings quite easily and amazingly enough, some small coyotes can too. One thing that concerns me is having a snare fastened at that height and manner, especially on a fence that has barb wire, With that length, an animal, such as a coyote will often jump or climb the fence, resulting in a suspended animal dangling from the fence. While this certainly suffocates the animal through strangulation, it is NOT a good look for us as trappers and can be spotted, often from afar. Barb wire fencing, is of course, a way to damage the pelt, in fact, a fox caught can often do considerable damage to itself and it's pelt. My advice would be to use a cable slider, much the same style a beaver trapper does, which allows the animal to leave the catch site and stop some 20 feet away, saving the set location. A shorter snare can be used and still be effective. I may note that I personally NEVER attach a piece of cable which has a higher breaking strength with a piece of wire, that can break. Why would you do that , when a looped in, could have the cable ran back through itself and cinched tight ? Many state laws prevent fence snaring because the state does NOT allow entanglement within a certain footage from the anchor point. While snaring fence lines is an effective manner of capturing coyotes, there are certainly better ways of doing it !

What kind of snare are you using in this video. These videos are extremely informative keep it up!

Two questions I what knife did this guy carry and what cable did you use 7x7 or 1/19

No coyotes or foxs yet, but i did catch a deer. Such a small snare with the placement as such for predators is it common to accidentally catch and kill deer? Anyway to for sure keep the deer from getting caught up in the snare?

What snare are you using in the video?

Why would you want shock to be absorbed? Wouldn't a solid anchor be more effective and tighten the snare faster

I've noticed that the snares in your video appear thicker in comparison to what we have here in the UK. Is that because coyotes are a lot stronger than red foxes?

Size of wire used ?

say need which bait

What brand is the snare in the video?

What's the name of the tighter part ?

Forgive me if I missed this but, what kind of snare is that and where might I purchase them?

what is the brand of trap your using?

Doesn't work if it's a barbed wire fence that they can come under anywhere

Dove si comprano?

Why would you use a snare instead of a conibear? Just wondering what the benefit is to this method.

Oh yeah! ^..^~~

Is there a one size snare that can be used for any size animal small to large to avoid having to buy multiple sizes?

Do you sell or know where I can get some?

Ok ... where is the Boar here . I don't see any Boar getting trapped.

WHAMMY!!!!

Don’t put to much pressure on the cable while trying to make the candy cane/ Shepherd hook. My cable now looks like a pigs tail. So thats my 1st one trying this with an it’s wasted

Im curious why the trap company doesnt just do what you did for you

Si

Great videos man, you were an inspiration for me to make one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OoFgGmdmfk0.html I wish I knew what you forgot about coyote trapping. I struggle with them but I enjoy trying!

Fuck trapping

How someone can snare an innocent being to a slow terrible painful death is beyond me.

Only a psychopath would enjoy torturing animals. You are basically hanging the animal, but without lifting it in the air.

Its not best of luck When you have skill

This a cruel thing to use and hurts animals terribly!

This technique of pre-loading the snare will not work on just any snare,it has to be the type of snare you are using in this video.A number of People have asked you what snared is and where you got it but you have not answered them.

Very cruel

PEOPLE ARE SO PROUD OF THEIR SNARES. PEOPLE THAT SNARE ANIMALS ARE DISGUSTING - THE SNARES CAUSE ANIMAL HUGE AMOUNTS OF PAIN, SUFFERING, HUGE PAINFUL CUTS AND HOLES, EVEN MAKING ANIMALS LOSE LIMBS & THEIR LIFE..... YOU'RE CRUEL......
