Default using lights out snaring system

Been a few years since I snared coyotes so I've forgotten how I used to use the lights out system.

Had 3 coyotes in snares last week. 1 dead, 1 alive and one chewed out.. Both the dead one and live one seemed to be caught right behind the ears.

I think the one that was alive was caught right before I got there as there wasn't much of a catch circle.


I anchored the lights out snare on a solid tree about thigh high. My extensions are about 4 feet. My snare is regular coyote length.

I had lots of entanglement around each spot. Wondering is lights out work best without?

Is my anchor point height correct? I recall having a couple issues finding the best anchor height the last year I snared and I can't remember what height worked best.


For the trigger, I'm setting them like they do in this video
