Remember, a snare is only effective if it's placed in the right spot.
Search locations that are well trafficked, e.g worn paths near water, holes beaten into brush, outside of rabbit dens etc
Animals behave predictably in the wild, they have a home, they have a food source, they have a water source. They frequent these locations and often have multiple of these, but if you can find tracks, it's likely they will utilize the same path again.
Like…humans
@@andriytroyan3888 ... yes, odd you would make that connection... but yes
@@alecpitts6843 I was only making this connection as you were emphasizing on animals behavior and exhibit the same as them. There is no darker reasons 🤣🤣🤣
So Very Basic Boy Scout Level of Animal Tracking But Ok Sure lol Sometimes I think people should make their Own Videos the Way they Want to Make them Instead of Pointing Out the Flaws in Others….
@@jayflow7949 this wasn't a criticism at all. Extra info for those who watched the video. Chill.
I will remember this for the rest of my life.
i will remember this for the next 30 minutes
Be you have already forgotten
teach a man to… snare
I already forgot it
You will remember this until November 23, 2026
Pro tip- create a funnel with leaves and sticks so the animal naturally wants to go to the snare
This is probably an essential tip.
Like a cone or something?

They walk trails like humans, they walk on sand or dirt before leaves and twigs, to stay quiet.

I used piano string. Worked perfectly. Put many a dinner on the table. It was my job when I was 7 until 13. Up at 5am every morning. And skin,gut & put into the pot ,fall back into bed for a bit, & then back up for school, cycling 3½ miles. And home again, & checked the traps before doing my homework, & checked again before bed. I wonder how may 7 year old's would do that now. I had no choice, if I didn't, we didn't have meat for dinner. Different times. I'm a 70s kid. 🇮🇪
Suuurely that happend
@@1337ost I grew up in the 70s & yes I had to do that every morning, evening & before bed, & anything I caught had too be skinned, gutted & put in the pot for my mother. I was 15 before we had central heating and inside toilet. 🇮🇪
How my parents got to school
@@1337ostI used to work in Ireland with a guy who didn't have shoes when he went to school as a kid. His grandma never left the village in her life - she didn't have to. Very different times.
Hi
Intersting story
Now i get why you guys in Ireland support Gazza
Did you read the Qoran ? If not you will like it
Great alternative to catching and strangling the bunnies with my bare hands thank you!
You can still strangle them with your bare hands.
All you need is a friend named Lenny
You made me smile Windy TV
But the screaming still haunts me. Damn you caaerbannog.

You’re a cool human, keep being you Donny!
I was gonna ask if you were an alien but then I saw that you were a dog
He's an idiot that leaves snares around to kill innocent wildlife
@Gibbon yea right we should starve instead thats cooler right? Grow up and be a man for god’s sake
@Roma Victor yeah but the way with the wire trap is very Brutal so i also dont like it, u cant just always say killing is Eating
@Roma Victor and its still Brutal
My late dad taught me how to snare rabbits. Not quite the same technique you use but same concept. I was told not to walk on the rabbit trail because they can smell it and won’t use that particular trail. Break a branch near your snare so you don’t lose it. Keep it a few inches above the ground and in the centre of the trail because rabbits run with their ears down and they will run right into your snare and choke themselves out trying to escape
Agreed but has the same idea got to have tension
💯🤔 I don't know how many Stevie Wonder rabbits are out there.? The only thing he's going to catch is a cold
“If I have to employ some emergency survival food acquisition.” This man is the expert teaching us the old ways
Before the prices plummeted, two friends and I ran a pretty large trap line during fur harvester season, for several years. Snares were one of several types of traps we used, and one we had a lot of success with. I've successfully placed 100s. There's an art to knowing where to put it, and how to get the critter to go through it, instead of around it. That would be a great follow up video. Topics for it could be Recognizing what critters are using which trails, and which of those are current trails. The size of the loop and height off the ground depending on what you're expecting to trap, what to use to funnel the critter into it, and how to disguise/camo it. Snares really are a GREAT tool, and I LOVE your videos.
The wire used in this video is definitely an emergency only choice, though. It's too stiff. To use this, you almost have to have the "fur catcher" tab on it, but the bigger that tab is, the more likely it is to keep a critter from going through the loop. The smaller it is, the less likely it is to do it's job - which is to grab a bit of fur, so the loop stays in place and cinches down tight. If you don't get that right, with wire this stiff, the animal can escape because the wire won't cinch tight around the animal's neck. If there are things (like the fur catcher or debris from attempts to camo it) in the loop, they sometimes won't even put their head all the way through it. If it feels resistance, it will stop and try to back away. Cable, cordage, or thinner wire will cinch down anyway, but anything too stiff usually won't.
Yeah it’s a pretty brutal way to harvest an animal, particularly if it’s just for fur and not an actual survival situation
I was wondering that the entire video. I have wire even stiffer (never used for trapping). But I was wondering what guage, or stiffness would be ideal, his wire did seem a little hard (compared to other videos I've seen).

Thank you I use this app all day in my down time and this is the first time today I've seen something informational and useful. It's to bad most people dont see the value in this
The nice thing about your shorts are the explanations that come with them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Love your videos, these are skills everyone should learn
So you never heard of a supermarket. Or do you yearn for stone age days.

@@anthonymullen6300 that's not the point. This could be used in multiple situations, it most definitely is something to learn especially if you go out camping or adventuring out.

We will all remember him forever 😻
Great Advice. Thank You for posting these. Survival is a very good thing to know.👍❤️
This knowledge may save someone’s life one day

Free knowledge to kill????
@@Methilde no, how to survive

@@Methilde YOU SURVIVE ON MY SHLONG!!
Very nice. I picked up several packs of brass snare wire after learning this last year and they were all $1 clearance. I'll be eating all the wild hares out here if I have to come shtf.
God bless.
Absolutely. Nice find for sure.
Don’t eat too many, not good for ya.
That snare is actually illegal where i live, and about 71% of the area of our country is forest so hunting is a big thing. Just a cruel snare, the animal suffers long time before it suffocates
@@sautari7474 when your freaking hungry lets all just wait and see if you care about that animal suffering. You gotta do what you gotta do my friend. Or let natural selection take it's course. Aka RIP @Sautari
@@tdaniel4502 you're right, i wont. I actually learned this snare in an army survival course (SERE-B) and that is the sole reason it was taught to us, SURVIVAL, as you can see the original comment here is not about survival but about eating all the hares out there. And showing snares like this to a vast audience without educating them about the especially cruel way the animal dies, and to only use it for survival i really dangerous.
Iv seen this done and explained many times , but that’s by far the best 👏🏻
See, this is why I'm glad things like this exist. With homelessness being as prevelant as it is in my area, I feel more people should know this
Thank you. Simple but sweet. Beautiful!!!

This is amazing bro! Did you just use regular steel wire?
Yes. Picture wire.

I’d love to hear more about where to set snares
Look for small game trails with fresh tracks
Paths threw the brush for rabbits.
Be careful not to walk on the trail the Animal will stop using the path. Make sure the tree is 3" thick that you use to attach the snare.
Look for tracks
Watch for game trails.
Converging game trails typically lead to water.
Think about roads leaving the city. The closer to the city the wider and more travelled they are.
As you leave the city roads go down to two lanes then one lane then gravel.
You want to set snares where the most traffic is not the least.
Two narrow trails converging onto a larger trail.
The larger trail typically leads to water.
Drinkin bro here. Great videos man. Love it
Damn. So its that easy to catchem those deers! 🥹
Rabbits. That’s meant for catching rabbits. However, you may get lucky and catch a jackalope.
@@victoracosta4796 I think he's joking, though this is the internet
@@no_social_skill1369 I had a feeling, that’s why I mentioned the Jackalope.
That actually probably could catch a deer tho lol.
Scale it up to about ten fingers above the ground to catches buffalos

Played that since it came out!
Haha love this
There should be a DLC with Donny as the PC
Hated that game I quit 30 mins after the plane crash at the beginning
Thanks Donny this is Critical knowledge ,mad respect budz
Nice survival tutorial. I never seen a sneer made that easily before .thnkx man!
keep up the good work 🔥
How is your name upside-down
Ah cool, I need a snare, I have to improvise a drum solo
And I need to catch dinner easier, so thanks man
Go to Tesco🐇🐇🐰🐇🐇🐰
@@tomekjaglinski2123 copy boss.... On it
Thank you for explaining the trap in detail. Great teaching.
Animal: “What a shiny beautiful wire. Let's go through.”
Hahah i dont see anyone falling for it 🤣
If you set it up right they do. The snares I used when running a trap line are silver colored cable wire.
😛🤣🤣
And also : I love to die slowly while suffering.
@@Methilde a snare doesn't kill by cutting off air supply, it kills by cutting off blood supply to the brain. If it's properly set up, the animal is unconscious within a few seconds. In an emergency situation, where building a correct and humane snare isn't always possible, it's survival...
I am having a terrible day and you have no idea how much this makes my day feel better
Watched your videos alot. Love em. Very usefull. But this time i noticed an awesome glow about your iris. Like a Holy glow. God bless, thanks for teaching these much needed skills. Im sure they will come in handy with uncertainty of the world.
i was looking for drums and snares in a musical sense, but i learned something new anyway
This is awsome. Love your channel
Trapping knowledge passed down for many generations
I used old guitar strings on a bushcraft trip when I was younger. Snares are great and don’t take a lot of energy or weight and are easy to set up
I read somewhere about the "Quinault deer trap". I think it would be super cool to see a video of making that. I have also heard that Iris tenax made a rope strong enough to snare elk. We would love a demonstration.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Love the hand tattoos. Twin moons. Mine are twin rising suns when I place my hands together side by side flat it's a sunrise over a pyramid 🤙🤙
🍀👌🙏🏽👍🍀😁😊🕊🌍🕊🌎🕊🌏🔧
Watching your video keeps leveling up my wild hunt perks
Truthfully I love it the snare always watching your videos man.
You know you badass when you measure by fingers
You know, my girlfriend doesn’t feel the same way… hahahaha
Do it work for my teacher
If I can add one suggestion. Before setting the snare, drop it into a container of boiling water to eliminate any human scent. Better still, boil some pine needles, or whatever bark the tree you attach the snare to is, to disguise the snare with a neutral scent. It always works for me. Good luck in your snaring.
Ever wondered where does he edits these videos
He is so advanced that he managed to build a computer out of rocks
Thanks for the video, love the content.
Kinda dumb question maybe... Do you bait the trap? How do you ensure the highest potential for success, is it trap placement?
There are trails in which these animals often pass through, which you’re most likely to trap successfully
The trick is to put 10 to 20 of traps in area where you see the animal trails.....
thank you for your great videos
👍 Wonderful wire snare. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful video.
Ecwn those small snares do a lot of damage, I've seen small snares meant for rabbit catch antilope, and ones meant for antilope cut off a elephants trunk. Anually we remove thousands of snares in South Africa set up by poachers. It does a lot more damage than you'd think, untill you see it first hand.
What's your point? He's setting a snare to kill and eat the animal. If he sets it for a rabbit and catches a deer then fantastic. He will have food for 6 months and won't have to set anymore snares.
@@aubreygmcghee Read the comment again, already stated my point. Get a life.
@@aubreygmcghee Its more about the ppl who just set them… like, the ones that dont look after the traps or forget some of them.
Yea that's gonna catch some wild elephants right there, hoo boy those poor snowlephants man. That darn emergency survival snare that everyone is going to make just for fun and leave lying around, golly gosh. In South Africa. I get lost there a lot.
@@poison_corpse3140 Yah I think it's you who needs to get a life. Watching videos and all you can do is complain and criticize. If you don't like it then dint watch it.
Take your negativity elsewhere and leave the enjoyment for the rest of us.

Hey men!!!!!
Man you explained that great...simple and fast...easy to understand. Thanx
Here in the UK you used to be able to buy rabbits snares made of multiple strands of copper wire with an eyelet tied in. The copper being soft would pull tight and not let go . I don't know if we can still get them here but I have about a dozen that ive used for donkeys years 😊 .
Thanks man, you are very knowledgeable and I thank you for the lessons and tools for my tool box.
Love how everyone thinks this is smart. I used to do this as a child and now I regret all the killing.
Glad you're getting the views you deserve!
Cool video man. Keep them coming please. I want to learn more about this stuff
Most helpful video out there, no 30minutes of talking or a bunch of tools
Omg Rick Grimes is back 🤨🤣
I would be very surprised if that snare actually worked
That would never work
@@alonzokincaid1362 why it wouldn't work?
@@adrianbratescu7015 He had to use two hands to tighten it. I’ve never seen a rabbit do that
Looks like solder wire
I’ve seen a few would be survivalist channels on TH-cam. Mostly clout chasers. This Man seems like the real deal. No nonsense, straight to it.
But how would you get said animal to walk along that path and perfectly put its neck into that snare?
И у меня такой же вопрос первым делом появился.
It’s luck that’s why you put many or near food
@@challengersrt5397 That sounds like a very inefficient and ineffective way to secure one's survival. If a person's odds of eating relies strictly on luck then I don't think many humans would survive.
It's not just luck. You put them along game trails. Animals like rabbits and other animals have certain paths they take all the time. You can also funnel that path straight to the snare you set. For larger game like trapping coyotes for fur. You have to use bait to lure them to the trap. Also if you don't try you don't get anything. No different than fishing or hunting you try stuff out and you figure out what works and what doesn't. Hunting, fishing, and trapping is a skill. It takes practice and knowing how the fish or animal act. It something that comes with time and practice.
You hide in the bushes, and make sounds like a carrot .
Given his number of views this video will have helped at least one person in a survival situation
I’d pay good money to spend time with this Gentleman in the wild for a month. He really is cool 🤙
This works only if you have it set at either the entrance of a burrow, a trail, or ideally a funnel-type setup using wood and plants on either side of the trail forcing the prey to step through the snare. I have used these as a professional trapper catching brush tail possum here in NZ and my catch ratio use to average 1 possum to 18 snares so numbers are the game.
Did you hurt your eye? Also, thanks for another great, informative, video. I appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this. Honestly hope I'll never need it, but definitely good to know

So cruel
I did this today. I made it bigger to catch a larger animal
I was demonstrating it and I got stuck in the snare myself. I just managed to get out.
It works.
You just have to hope squirrels never have good internet service
*"Donny:* and thats how you trap small *critters*
"But then snares an *8ft tall Yeti*
cuz *Yetis* love *Holes*
I’m going to catch the squirrel that’s keeps messing with my window AC
Lol. Then what happens to the squirrel?
I snared a jackrabbit once with wire like that. I found it dead still in the snare. It twisted and tore up the whole area before it died. Somehow, the snare wire was snapped, yet it stayed on. It literally must've held to the last second then broke right as the rabbit took its last breath. Lesson: use stronger wire.
A couple of packs of steel guitar strings is a must in your bug-out bag.
Ernie Ball super Slinkys work perfect... TWICE!! Just thread the string through the bridge barrel and there's your Loop, full strength.
Nice. I’ll check those out. Never thought of premade guitar strings
I made this and now I'm stuck....
try pulling harder to get free
So it works on jackasses to🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey it's Rick Grimes he's doing his Christmas special
When you set these up it’s wise to have them set up in a series a loop every 6 inches. Your more likely to catch one. My favorite is finding a 6 inch log that’s like 5 ft and put snares all the way across the log every 6 inches then lean it against a tree so a squirrel walks up it or down it
In winter, I'd suggest to use a spring snare. May I ask why you use the double loop around the stick? Great video btw! 👊
Could you do a vid on where to place the snares? Like ideas for likely locations?
Thats easy:Place it near to the front door of the rabbits house!
Thank you
Instead of loops of wire, take a flat washer about 1" to 11/2" wide drill a small hole on each side then bend the washer so the wire slips through the small holes. Attach to the end and loop through to make a locking slip snare. I've seen it catch coyotes and beaver. Put it a foot under water to catch beaver.
If I do this I can just see the damn rabbit hopping around everywhere but into the damn wire 😁😆🤣.
👍
Ok dad 👍

I learned how to do this when I was in the Army. It worked three times for me.
The rabbit will try to nest in his hair while he's sleeping faster than his snare will work..
