well im going to the new forest to my uncles this weekend and he owns a farily big bit of forest im thinking of setting some snares like in the book "SAS Survival Guide" will i get any rabbits/squirrels or not ?

Your uncle sounds like a tight ******* if he makes you catch your own food.

no reason why you shouldn't if you set enough and put them in well travelled paths.

Flare · 13 Aug 2009 at 01:12

if set in the right places then there should be no reason not to.

although personally im against snaring. im more for using a rifle

I do hope you plan to make a meal out of anything you catch.

Would you mind making a cooking thread from start (ie right from snaring it) to the table?

Would be a good read

I'm not really one for snaring, but only because I prefer to go out with the dogs. One thing I can tell you though (my mate snares a lot) is make sure you set them high enough. You'd be surprised! Good luck

Here's one I did earlier

Although I didn't kill this one, I used to do a lot of hunting in the past.

Go to Tescos and buy your food there instead of trying to catch your own food. It's not as if your life depends on it. Better still, take a laptop with you to the wilderness and read up on how to do it there. Don't forget to smear your face with its blood afterwards for that fresh manly feeling.

because buying it from a supermarket is so much more humane than killing it yourself.

Is that a joke or?

can't you use a rifle instead?

snares are a nasty way to catch animals, and they may not just catch your lunch.......unless you like cat, badger, fox etc

I thought the title was "Shaving a rabbit" for some reason... I have no clue what you have to do snare one however...

Nets over all the holes you can find, then smoke em out.

Fixed.
