Small Game Trap: Trapeze Spring Snare

The steps to make an effective trap for catching rabbits, and small game. This trap has two seperate snares built into one mechanism. This will double your chances, or allow you to cover more area on a game trail.

I'm not an expert trapper by any means. I'm just sharing some knowledge and skills I've obtained.

The snares are made of strong fishing line. Snare wire would probably be a better option. My intent is to show that items will need to be improvised during a wilderness survival situation. People have been able to eat after using a shoelace or vines for an improvised snare.

Think outside the box.

like some random game is gonna come into the wire and pull the thing down u need to have bait on it somehow

[ryanjcus]

Ah....yes they do

[tackybombs]

you should make your notch more sensitive

[ryanjcus]

It's perfect the way it is. If I were to make is looser it would come undone in the wind or bad weather. This trap would have no problem catching an animal. Remember the loop goes around it's neck then it will naturally struggle.

it's perfect except the notch should be a bit less deep. Besides that I give this trap two thumbs up. :)

@laxguitar50 thats why you put it on a game trail bud. thats there natural path where your game is going to walk anyways.

@psychoguy1017 Well i am asking when it is jerked up will it die or will it strangle and yeah im going to eat it why else would i make the snare?

[psychoguy1017]

Couldn't another animal just come up to it and eat it then since its just stuck there?

[psychoguy1017]

@tarheel550 thats the point to eat it
