Here's the picture of the one I snared... And here's how I did it (notice the second snare in the left track)... I drove along a fence through this corn field, knowing the fox take the path of least resistance I stopped and walked back in my tire tracks about 20yrds. til I found a spot where a cornstalk was sticking up near the tire tracks and simply hung the snare over the track an 8" loop 8" off the ground. I use #9 wire pigtailed on a 20-24" long 1/2" rebar stake to both support and anchor the snare. If you look you can see the one in the other tire track still set. I make up to 3 sets in each track every fifty yards or so. I use live catch snares for fox due to the deer stop laws in Iowa they won't close tight enough to kill fox so I use bigger cable (3/32) and bigger locks (Heavy Berkshire Washers) to prevent fur damage. I hope this helps you all out. JPJ
