Thank you!
I appreciate it!

The fact the you got the snares from southernsnares and the knowledge from a meattrapper video, coupled with the fact that you gave them a shout out is why i am subbing. I know them both personally and are great men with vast ammounts of knowledge. Kudos
Thank you so much! I am super grateful for them sharing their knowledge. It’s definitely a proven method and doesn’t break the bank. So much to learn from them, and those snares hold up so well. I’ll never use any other.
me too
@@AaronSForeman great job subbeed
@@ranhen8951 thank you! I appreciate it!
I trap 150 200 coyotes a year I use a snare quite a bit you asked for advice here’s a few take your snares after you build them boil them and baking soda it will take the shine off of them. They stick out like a polar bear in a mud puddle when hanging your snare set it square with your trail this one appears to be turned to the right. If you’re standing behind it another thing I noticed your snare isn’t pre-loaded It’s a good thing to do. I know if you’re using 7 x 7 it can be a bit tricky to pre-load but once you get the hang of it and you see how they work, you’ll do it every time another suggestion would be put 50 pound compression Springs i’m not big on the mini torque kill springs. I don’t think they work as good as the compression spring. I’m not trying to sound like a know it all I started trapping in 1990 snares is what I started with like I said, I average 150 to 200 coyotes for the last 25+ years that’s all I do from Thanksgiving to the end of March using a snare I’ve caught everything from a coyotes, beaver otter, Havelina bobcats, muskrat even just to see if I could do it I don’t know if you build your own snares, but if you ever should want advice I would be more than glad to help you like I said I don’t know everything and if I don’t know the answer, I won’t steer you wrong. I’ll tell you I don’t know if you do look me up on Facebook PM me I’d be more than glad to help. Good luck buddy.
Thank you brother.
Great advice
Really is awesome advice and I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge.
25+ years , im sure you know a thing or two about snaring..... I've been trapping and snaring sense I was 12 , im 72 now , and yet my older brother still puts me to shame when it comes to snaring .... and he's 74 !! .... lol !!!

Sir I am so sure you have forgotten more than I know about trapping and snaring
It sounds like you have been trapping for a while now It would be a HONOR to get a chance to sit down with you
And talk about your experience how the fur market has changed how trapping and the equipment has changed maybe you could tell me the tricks that you learned and use
I enjoy talking with older gentleman like yourself I believe 💯% our older generation
Has so many life experiences and have so much knowledge that my generation and so many other generations will never experience
The older generation men & women are stronger tougher everyone had a work ethic I am afraid we will NEVER SEE AGAIN and know what a dollar meant then and now and just how hard it was to get that dollar and how far
You could stretch it
I apologize for getting a little long here, but I think you know what I mean
Hope you’re having a good day sir
Be safe
You can't help but to like this guy! He's honest about his experience in snaring hogs and I appreciate it being more budget friendly come pared to some set ups love it
Thank you Darien for the kind words brother. Definitely the way to go! I wish you the best of luck! I really enjoyed running my trap line. Ran it for 4 days and snared 2 big female hogs!
I though I'd caught a sasquatch with a hog trap , but it was just Mick O'bama out rootin for nuts 😂
🤣
Caught the 2nd hog in this very trap. Was a huge 250lb sal. Unfortunately didn’t get it on video bc my phone was out of power, but I did get the first catch on video. Please check it out and subscribe. Thx guys!
Aloha from Hawaii. You did a good job setting up the snare. It helps if you secure the loop steady with dental floss. Or a Y sticks. 👍🏽🤙🏽
Aloha! Thank you so much for the kind words! That’s a great idea with the dental floss trick! Thanks so much! 🤙🏽
I snared a 400 lb. boar 2 years ago. I put some corn in front of the trap, and wrapped (poison) Ivy vine around the steel cable to hide the bare steel. Your snare sets looked so good, that I`m ordering a set myself.
That’s awesome Steven and a great idea with the vine. I didn’t use anything to camo the bare steel, but I don’t think they noticed it.
Animals don't see it as wire or danger, they see it as just another weed in the field or in the brush
You could use a bungee cord to secure the snare where you put it around the tree so it does not slip down. It would allow you to make sure that it doesn’t interfere with the wire you hang the noose with.
That's a great idea! Thank you Terry.
Seems like a good tree. And a few years from now when it's harvested, those staples could ruin a good blade. Please pull'em when you're finished with the hogs.
Perfectly good tree. They won’t be ruining any blades though bud. They’ve been removed, but good looking out..
Interesting,they are pretty strong animals
They are. Super strong. I caught a nearly 300 lb sal in this snare I’m setting in The video. Strangled her as intended.
@@AaronSForeman cool well done
Thank you! Consider scent management, baiting, and non-target critters (dogs especially if/depending situation). Which you may just not have mentioned. Also minor funneling / disguise of set. Good job.
If its big enough to trap a hog, what would happen if I stepped into it walking in the woods?. Would my feet get tied and pulled up?.
Cheap, easy , lite . We have one hog and doesn’t pay to spread a lot of money for big trap .
That’s right brother.
Hey friends! Please like and subscribe to help me grow our channel! Thank you. It will only get better from here!
I would just not hammer staples into the tree. You could affix your offset wire by looping it around the trunk, would use more wire, but would not puncture your, or the owner's on a lease, trees.
That’s a very good point. Usually just use a nearby branch, but when not applicable I use this technique. I have removed the fencing staples though. Pry bar with a point worked well, with minimal damage to tree.
@@AaronSForeman Some trees have bark thick and solid enough to firmly hold short/fine staples that don't penetrate the cambium (green) layer immediately outside the solid wet wood, so don't damage (or minimal damage). There's a "knack" to getting it right. Worth it as damaged trees aren't good, particularly crop trees. Fixing traps is similar, below stumpp height and not exposing the wood that risks infection helps
Very nice
Thank you!
The hog is not stupid getting its head into that snare
You’re right, they are intelligent animals. I did manage to snare a nearly 300 lb sal in this snare. It strangled her as intended.
Amico volevo KIEDERTI un consiglio x catturare dei cinghiali il cavo di quanti millimetri deve essere??? Grazie mille
3mm
Grazie mille per la rapida risposta
Cheers for the upload buddy , trapping one in aus Rn
Thank you for checking it out!
At least on these hogs around here good luck
I think yes it's cheap , but the goal is to get rid of them. A metal trap is about 6000. There is a very, very effective net design for 2500. If you have a way to sell the hogs it will pay off fast
Find some taking down a batting cage and get the net. Free trap
Did you catch a hog and make another video?
Hey Heath! I sure did. I caught 2 shortly after setting them! It should be in my videos.
Not true big traps with right bait catch all in area at same time you have to let hogs call hogs dumb buts it's so amazing u let hogs out smart you been trying with fish in Illinois as well have to call them also. Big John be safe
@Aaron Foreman Fishing
Tks. For your comment to catch a hog u have to let hogscall themselves ie same with fish snakes also u have to understand query to catch them simple hogs need special feed not just corn u have to call fish big john
@@johntrammell4033 but I’ve caught hogs in these snares.. they seem to work great. I understand your point though. Thanks.
Compliment per favore i potresti dirmi il cavo ke stai usando ke tipo di acciaio e fatto xke io uso quello armonico ma è troppo flessibile
Cavo in acciaio inossidabile 1/8 7x7 amico mio
Grazie infinite Amico mio un abbraccio dall" Italia
Fratello per piacere potresti dirmi come regolarmi con il foro della testa quanto deve misurare il cerkio e quanti Centimetri devo alzarlo da terra spero ke mi risponderai grazie infinite
Amico mio ma 1/8 7x7 a quanti millimetri equivale a 2 millimetri???
@@francocicalese6734 3mm
Posso avere un aiuto vorrei sapere l'altezza del laccio da terra quanto deve essere x catturare il cinghiale xke non so regolarmi GRAZIE INFINITE
Hey! I usually just use the length of my hand to measure from the ground to the bottom of the snare. Works for me! Hope that’s helps. Approximately 7-8” for most. Also situational on the size of your l hogs. I’d say on average this works well. May need to play with it with really large hogs.
Ti ringrazio per avermi risposto ho provato a mettere il laccio all'altezza del palmo come mi hai detto ma l'indomani ho trovato un cinghiale bloccato con la zampa posteriore non capisco xke...
@@francocicalese6734just trial and error. Just need to play with it. Depending on the size of the hogs you have around brother. Typically hand length high works well for me.
Number 9 wire would work better.
Looks good except for them nails your puttin in my timber, mill wont take them trees. Since its your first time, I would go back and tell people to maybe use something else, other wise you wont be able to find a box of fence staples anywhere in S.E. Ga. and cost timber companies millions 🤣
Thanks man. I never leave my snares out for long, and I use the claw on the tool and small pry bar to remove the staples when I pick up the set. Quick and easy. Thanks for looking out though. I should have mentioned this during the video. Multiple people have said the same thing lol.
You need to paint camo your cable
Hogs are very intelligent
Not going to work
It did work brother, but I do appreciate your input. I caught a very large sal on this very trap. I also have a video up of another hog I caught on a different snare.
Check your laws on snaring , in alot of places it is illegal
