Jakes Trap and Snare thread

It is actually a lot more exciting that it seems. Especially when you catch your first few animals. It is not like hunting. You really have to understand behavior, how and animal is going to react the environment, and then figure out how to funnel it to a 1" circle! Or through a snare. When it works, it is EXCITING!

I have never sold a single fur either. I had all my stuff tanned up, and then had Tubari make stuff for me. Friends, family, whoever, always wanted stuff. You haven't lived until you have worn a real fur hat that you trapped yourself :D Being serious though, wearing a fur hat in winter, and then wearing a wool hat, feels like your head is naked :D

Brian I can totally see that!:thumbup:
 
No not in the making. I assure you the bears eyes were reboved prior to the testing, to assure he could not see what was coming. His mouth was removed so nobody could hear his screams!:eek:
 
Yeah Kathy...My Pugs claimed it. Once they claim something, resistance is futile!

Steve, they taste like Smurfs. Kinda salty, and a little Gamey.;)
 
I heard old trappers would boil their snare wires in water and pine twigs and needles to get the human scent off them. Probably better for the wilier predators like marten than rabbits.
