WIRE AND TWINE SNARE.
Snares work well in cold weather and if properly constructed are pretty sure catchers.
A — Spring pole.
B — Staple.
C — Two small nails driven in tree. (Three inch nail head, end down, with snare looped at each end with a foot of slack between. As soon as the D — three inch nail is pulled down, it will slip past the nail at top end, when spring pole will instantly take up the slack, also the fox, to staple and does its work.)
E — Slack line or wire.
F — Loop should be 7 inches in diameter and bottom of loop ten inches from the ground.
Remarks — The nails should be driven above staple so it will pull straight down to release the snare fastening.
