I've never snared any game before so I have many questions, but thinking of materials, I've included in my BOBs a heavy 18" wire leader for Northern Pike. I believe this would also work as snare material?

According to various books on the subject, any means of getting the animals feet off the ground will keep them from escaping. This would require a snare with some sort of trigger and spring (a sapling) that would pull the animal off the ground.

Oh wait.... a snaring site with bad music.... The answer my friend....... Thank goodness for MUTE buttons.

Here's another one......... A better snaring "how to" site.......
