Redneck Convent Versatile Snare Wire Trapping Supplies 12-Pack – Coyote Trap, Fox Trap – Small Game Traps, Trapping Kit Snare Trap 12pk

I caught two foxes in my yard, in the first four days of setting these up. Worked exactly as promised. The foxes were not injured and relocated.

Great snares, easy to set, just make sure you boil for 5 minutes with baking soda a tablespoon of it. It will take the shine away.

For reasons of cost and immediate need (coyotes), I have made my own snares in the past. These on-line pre-made snares are a bit more expensive than home-made, but are of good quality, work very well, and worth the price and convenience. 3 animals snared in the 1st 3 days. Snares held tight with 2 snared around neck and one around lower torso. Re-usable also, just use pliers to straighten out the cable and remove kinks, then re-hang. Recommend that manufacturer link to videos or YouTube for set-up demos; it helps the novices. 5 Stars for good timely delivery and solid product. I will buy again.

After years of having our garden terrorized by a big fat ground hog I thought I would try these. We had tried everything else we could think of. I had previously caught one in a Haveahart cage. Everyone I talk to says the cage always works for them. Not with this guy. No bait would get it inside, although some thing else sometimes got the bait. We think this one had been caught before and somebody thought it would be "humane" to release it in the "country". We have neighbors that release them on the other side of the lake, so I am sure the people over there are gifting us with their catches.After watching a couple of how-to Youtubes we got it on the second day. Of course we now had to figure out what to do with a live groundhog on a string. This was part of using the snare instead of a more lethal trap, so we could release one of our neighbors pets if we had caught that instead.

They work great. I snared a raccoon on my first attempt. The trick is to put some irresistible bait in a spot where there is only one way in, forcing the prey to go though the snare to get it. I had some concerns that the snare would not tighten around my prey, and that the lock would not allow release of the animal. The snare tightened around the raccoon. When I came out to see what animal was crying, the raccoon jumped and the snare tightened even more causing the raccoon the cry out even louder. Apparently he had his front leg or shoulder caught in the snare. So when he jumped over a ledge and the snare tightened further he injured his leg or shoulder and also the snare tightened so much that he had difficulty breathing. I certainly wasn't going to reach out release the snare around his neck as I would certainly have gotten scratched and bitten by a wild animal backed into the proverbial corner and fighting for his life. But had it been pet dog or cat or even a rabbit I could have. This is serious business. Be prepared for what you are going to do with a wild animal caught in the snare, fighting for his life, and suffering and crying. I'm sure not going to reach up and release the lock on the snare holding a wild animal.

Have a fox that made a meal of my flock last summer and has evaded my trapping efforts so far. Just set these two days ago after my wife saw the fox in the yard the other night attempting to stalk my turkeys, growled at her and took off, giving her a line of sight to his infiltration point under our fence gate. These snares are solidly built, easy to setup, and made with high quality materials. I’ll update the post if any issues arise in quality or longevity but I think these will stand up to the test of time and weather. You will not be disappointed, especially for the price and quantity.

They seemed super nice when they are not used. What I mean is I feel these are one time use snares. I have snares 3 yotes and all three times it was a neck snare. But after taking the yote off the snare the snare never worked smooth again because of fraying and burrs on the line. I pretty much had to throw them out. I have used snares a lot in the past and don’t remember having the fraying of the line as bad. So for the money yeah; they are great, but you may only get one use out of them.

I made some snares myself with stuff from the hardware store but the cable they had was too light so it snapped and the animal got away. Meanwhile I ordered these snares. They're cheaper than I could make them myself from the hardware store and the cable is markedly heavier duty. I haven't caught anything with them yet but I don't think a fox or coyote can break these snares!

First things first: make sure you know your local laws before setting up snares! And have permission before you do it on land that is not yours!Now onto the review:I've bought these snares twice now actually, as I find they work insanely well.I would however like to address the one reviewer, that says they "slip too easily" and "don't stay open", in case anyone else feels the same. That's literally the point of snares - however, if they aren't staying open when you set them up, it means you are doing them wrong (do NOT set them "upside down" to "fix" this!) These snares come with a little vinyl/rubber piece that you use to place a wire [sold seperate] (or small stick, or stiff grass) through to hold the snare at the proper height/angle, which is important so the lock tab doesn't slide and close your snare before an animal passes through it.I personally set my snare (where the lock is) very *slightly* up, so it doesn't accidentally slide closed. I've caught several problematic beaver this way.These snares come "loaded" for you - which means the loop is round upon setup, instead of a "tear drop shape".... meaning the snare diameter is larger, and it is more ideal for catching animals and the lock will slide nicer.They are shiny when you get them! So if you're trying for some animals you may have to dip them first and degrease before use. I am in an area where the beaver aren't trap shy yet, and have had luck catching them with minimal hiding of the snares (scent/visual lures), your success will differ depending on critters.My only con with these snares is that the swivel on the end doesn't seem to work very well (it's possible I'm setting my traps wrong), as every time I catch something they destroy the snares (kink them) before they are dispatched.So if you're a beginner with snares I'd recommend getting more than you think you need as you may need to replace them after every catch (or perhaps that's a normal thing lol).

Difficult to set up properly. If you attach the snare to a tree, the snare will not hold itself at the height you want it and will instead slide down to the bottom of the tree(lost a few in the snow already). Loop also does not want to stay open and set and will continuously slide down unless you flip the snare upside down, preventing it from sliding with gravity. Have to prop them up with sticks or else they will fall flat on the ground and your prey will walk right over top. (Snared 1 and only coyote around it's left back leg) Good for putting on fallen trees where rabbits move under but wouldnt recommend for anything else.

Caught a few coyotes on these. 12" loop 12" off the ground.

Haven’t set or caught any yet but they slide smoothly and stay tight when closed. Fast delivery.

Good looking snares 👍
