Fence line snaring

very easy to do and a simple way of catching a lot of rabbits at a time .
As always make sure your wire has plenty of tension and well stabilized

I find your sets very interesting. I don't snare any rabbits here we can snare some fur bearers (coyote,fox,wolf) but I and many others anchor to a large sturdy tree post or steak. Is it now your trapping season on that side of the pond? Is there a season or can you trap rabbits at anytime?

There is no closed season for rabbits or foxes but most people will leave them alone from March to September. Not many people trap or snare over here now as they would sooner use night vision on a large calibre rifle and blow creatures to bits .

Do you market the fur from the fox and the rabbits

No there is no market for fur over here, some dedicated Fox snarers will dress a few skins and sell them on EBAY but most keep a low profile because the ANTIS are very violent over here they think nothing of burning houses down or even taking bodies from graves.

Holysmokers. The antis there are pretty outspoken? So is that why you guys are allowed suppressors (silencers)? They obviously don't news winter jackets overy there or they would be using up the fox.....

Too many Foxes over here , I catch a lot of well grown cubs in the spring when I am Rabbit clearing.

Are your fox a deep red colour and we'll fured in the winter?

The foxes there are a lot bigger than ours, almost coyote sized and the fur doesn't change much for winter.

One of the best things about the UK is being able to buy wild game in the stores.
Rabbit, pheasant, wild ducks, deer all a welcome treat.

The Fox does well over here and there are a lot of them , they are easy to catch but I seldom bother nowdays, I live in the middle of Fox Hunting country so I have to be careful as I have a lot of permission on hunting land and Foxes are Gods .
