it's the easiest trapping you will ever do, once you learn how to tell what's using what trail

Snaring is probably the most efficient secret to trapping IMO. It is deadly easy when animal habits are recognized and quite cheap. My coyote lines sees hundreds of strung cables, and it is the way to go up here. I love it for beaver too, but the pelt damage is what I hate. To bad, you can really clean up beaver, even the shy, with snares. Nice picks Ahole.

sunny if you start snareing there will not be any more coon were you are at....its a easy trapping tool that catches tons of fur and you will get hooked like i did and before long you will be up all night skinning..or jerry will choke you right off the bait..

The pelt damage is what I hate says huntingwithdogs. Hey huntingwith ifin you would put your beaver that you snare on drowners, your pelt damage would drop dramatically. I use drowing rods and snares, and ya can barely tell a snared beaver from a coni caught beaver. I have used the same snare as high as 3 times when drowning beaver. I usually expect at least 2 catches from a drowned beaver snare.

The sooner you get the animals skinned, fleshed and stretched, the less the snare mark will show up. If you put them in the freezer, it will really show up.

How soon are we talking? Animal taken from snare immediately skinned fleshed stretched, or animal taken finish running the line six hours later fart around feed cows then skin, and maybe flesh the next day? Very curious.

If you can dispatch the animal, then rub the area where the snare was around it, it will help to minimize the mark. After the animal is cold, there is nothing much you can do.
