Just curious to what type of camouflaging techniques some of you fellers use to help conceal your snares or cable restraints.
I generally put mine in the diswasher with some scent free detergent (Sunsations) then hang them on nails on a 16ft 2x4 which is nailed on the post in my barn. then I spray them with Khaki or Almond spray paint, then add some flat black streaks.
This works great, but I just wanted to investigate some other techniques.
Thanks

Newt's F-1 works well. Some people have said that the black snares work well. I guess it is kinda dependent on where u are hanging the snare and what kind of natural camoflauge is there!

I like for them to have a khaki or light tan color. It blends with the dry grass much better than black. However the black color will be invisible during darkness.

they will work fine in our area, just like they are....we've got old,new, and in between wire strung up everywhere, they are used to going through that all the time!

Formula1 brown for me. I used to use camo paint but it got too expensive with the number of snares I use.

A BLACK snare will stand out like a sore thumb. To prove it---------Set your snare than take a Black and white picture of your set.

Fluffy! ;D;D
Yep, black stands out even under 30 fathoms of ocean. I like a dull brown, olive drab. But, ADC and Newt, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think it's that necessary to make the cable invisible, the critter knows it's there, no matter what you do, he just thinks he can push his way through it like he does grass and vines. The thing is to make it look natural, and black vine or weed is not natiral.

I agree. See the snare in the left track? Same as the one that was in the right...

Black anything stands out at night.....don't seem right...but even under water...BLACK is the MOST visible color there is. It's because it contains all the colors in the color spectrum.I like black lures at nite for musky fishing. Anyway,read an article along time ago about colors and what animals see.The article stated most animals cannot see the color battleship gray.Thinking about painting my CR's for next year that color.
