Hammergun Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Don't put snares over rabbit burrows as this is a waste of time. Snaring on rabbit runs works well if you place the snare just above where the grass is worn by the feet, so the loop is about 2 inches off the ground. You need a good stake and a loop of stiff wire (coathanger loop) to keep it in position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
