With all the talk on snares we've had on this forum, I don't think anyone has addressed how they attach the snare to the anchor. Personally, I create a tight, sturdy loop in the tag end of the snare, pass it through a fencing staple, and then drive it into a tree. You don't have to drive it in all the way to make it strong enough to hold small game.

Remember to carry atleast enough staples / nails for each snare.

Another thought would be to just wrap the tag end around the anchor and twist it tight. But that would result in using a lot of length of the snare just to anchor it. Large zip ties might also be used, but I haven't tried it.

What are the thoughts on this?
