[jds247]

You can build a snare for 5 bucks . I've never caught a deer but I have caught some big hogs that were trap shy ..

That's definitely our problem. Hogs around here are extremely trap shy. You get 2 or 3 guys together to haul the cage/ trap out , set it up & get 1 hog, maybe, over the next month. At least with this system, I can set it up myself, shoot the hog & move the snare to another location.

There's an idiot lazy poacher that sets these up on our place and leaves them.
I've found 3 dead hawgs that died with snares around their necks and feet and bare spots where they struggled to get free.
All that was left was a pile of tissue and bones.

Yeah... They work.
I don't like what I've seen from them tho.

Pain in the rear end to set up. The snare is too short to be able to work with only 2 hands & the end piece was not a flat washer like shown on instructions but rather a C chaped square contraption that doesn't allow the cable to sit flatly along the trap mouth. However we finally got it set up- took 2 of us. We will see. I've got 8 large hogs coming to this spot morning & evening & living there during the night. If it doesn't catch a hog, then it can't catch a hog.

Bait is corn, rice bran & water that has been stewing outside for a week in the sun. Smells rank.

Set up multiple times, in locations with photographed hogs. Never caught. I think the snare is flawed. Based on photos it goes off at the slightest bump to the side. Pretty disappointed but that's the way it goes for trapping hogs. There is no magic bullet. Except accidentally seeing one & shooting on site.
