Setting-Up Your Snare Trap

However, you may use other materials, as long as they are flexible. It should also be sturdy while not being too thick or too thin. In case you don’t like to use wire, you may use cord or strings. Be sure that It will be strong to hold and restrain the animal.

Scouting
Snare traps can be used regardless of the time, terrain, weather, and situation. You only need to make sure that the Paterson animal will pass by on your trap.

The New Jersey tree will play a key role in preparing your snare trap. You will need to look for a sapling that will be strong but flexible. Remember that it should be able to hold the animal up in the air. In case it would be difficult to find a sapling you can a tree limb and use a rock to keep it in place.

Building Your Trigger
When creating a hook, it should perfectly fit in the base’s mouth. Burry the base of the hook on the ground and make sure that it will be close to the chosen sapling. The cord will be tied into the flexible sapling. You will have to test it to guarantee that it will work. Keep in mind that the creature will struggle to break free so it should be sturdy. The other edge of your hook that is attached on the snare will have to be connected on the hook that is buried on the ground. Create a noose on the base of the hook.

Finally, you will have to arrange the noose and make certain that the snare will be in place. Create a noose that is wide that will prevent you from missing the target. Spread it all over the ground and cover it with twigs and pebbles. However, it should not interfere when capturing the animal.
