Does anyone use these kill spring snares? I picked up a few but not sure how to set them,can someone post a picture of one that is set?

Go to martysenneker.com and click on SNARE PRODUCTS. There's a couple of pictures and some info on building snares and such things.

Good luck!

A few of the guys in our area have tried them on wolf sets. One guy said they froze up on him, one guy thought they were ok but doesn't use them anymore.

I haven't used any but had a look and as far as I can see it's just more iron to hide.

Say 101, the new snare has a trigger now. I would imagine that your buddies haven't tried that yet. Good wolf men are killing wolves with 1/16" and 5/64" on a regular basis with the triggered version. Can't do that with a plain old snare lock snare. If you understand what that means, as in what can now be done in terms of snaring wolves effectively, well let's say the wolves now are in big trouble and the moose and the caribou are going to get a break, and I will spell it out (just in case), way more wolves will be captured with the lighter cable than the heavier, and you will also catch them faster due to less refusals; both statements made looking at the long term effect.

But everyone is always entitled to an opinion, ideally and educated opinion, not the contrary. Some like the simplicity of a basic snare with no junk, thick cable and no BAD function. Each to his own!

Happy snaring!
