Thanks for the great tutorial. How do you place the snare or set it? If you could explain or show pics would be great. also were do you get the snare lock?
Thanks Bill

I'm new t this and this is really the first I've heard of snaring hogs. Once you've built the snare, then what? How do you set it, bait it, etc...

You can get the locks, and everything else needed from any decent trapping supply biz. Snare Shop, SnareOne, Minnesota Trapline Products just to name a few.
On setting, I like to set in well traveled trails the hogs use to go from one feed station to another. By feed stations I'm talking about corn feeders, which is legal in Texas. Thats about as good as it gets because the hogs will travel these same trails as long as the feed is available. When they are moving on these trails they are usually moving at a fairly fast pace which also ups the odds of a good hookup. DO NOT put any bait in the trail. This will cause the hogs to stop and start feeding. A feeding hogs has it's nose to the ground and you don't want that when snaring.
To hold the snare I use a 40" piece of 1/2" rebar with a 3" piece welded to the top to f make a T-stake. I wrap a few coils of #9 wire around the stake and T leaving 5-6"s extra. I push the stake firmly into the ground at a angle at the edge of the trial in a pinch point preferably next to the tree I'm going to anchor too. I like to use a large loop of 20"s or more, since I'm usually after the larger hogs, leaving the bottom around 8"s from the ground. The lock should be positioned at 11 or 1 o clock so the smaller pigs can go under without firing the snare.
I'll be setting some snares next week so I'll take a few pics and post em. It's really quiet simple and even those ol trap wise hogs don't know what snares are.

| Ive never trapped wild hogs but have thought about it. I think snaring looks like fun and i think you did a great job in showing what you have to do to get started. It doesnt look to expensive this way, and certainley could be productive. I've got a guy that lets me hunt his property some and i might just put up a hog trap as the hogs only visit his place periodically.
