I've been meaning to take a few pics of some snare sets and today I finally got a few taken so you can see how simple it really is.
Heres a pinch point in a hog trail.

And the finished set. This loop is about 22-24"s and the bottom of the loop is 7-8"s off the ground. It's really quiet simple and only takes me about 20 seconds to have the snare set and get out.
If there's anything you have questions about, don't hesitate to ask. Andy

Wow those pictures are extremely helpful. Especially seing how you use the big rebar stake to prop up your snare loop. I was very curious about how that worked.
I am starting to think that any method of propping up the snare loop up in order to get the correct snare height and lock positioning (via the #9 wire) will work.
I am going to edit my thread/post with all of the great info I have received. I will also make sure that it points to this thread/post for people to easily navigate to it and see the excellent snare setup.
Thanks for all of the great info!

| Nutoy, That's impressive! Seeing how large that loop is you must be after hogzilla. All joking aside, If you were going to make some sets on new trails do you always start out that large? Wouldn't you miss all the smaller ones? I see why you say a 10 or 12 ft snare. How high do you tie off in the tree? Thanks for taking the time to show some newbs. This is very helpful info. Thanks

I have redited the original about hog snaring setup steps and descriptions to incorporate all of the info I have come across including a link this thread and these great pictures.
If you guys get a chance please check it out and see if I have done justice to consolidating the info and describing it correctly.

I'm curious about how you have the wammy set to the snare. If I could see a better view of this picture it might help. Also interested in seeing a better view of the stake with #9 wire set.
Just listened to the webcast and that was great information.

Hi doublexfarm and welcome to the forum.
I can see where snaring lingo can be confusing if you've never snared.
Anchor point = Where the snare is attached to restrain the animal. I most cases my anchor point is a tree.
Stake = What is used to hold the snare elevated. This can be anything from a tree, stick or anything available. I use rebar.
Support wire = Piece of wire attached to the stake that is used to position the snare in the trail.
Wammy = Used to hold the snare to the support wire. Can be anything from a coiled wire to a peice of tubing.
Snare lock = A device that slides on the cable and closes the snare loop.
This post by PorkAddict has a drawing and shows the basic set up.

Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask questions.

| No. It is wrapped around the tree. Pull the loop end down small, go around the tree with the anchor end, feed the loop end through the anchor end loop and pull it down snug to the tree, open the loop to the desired size and set in the center of the trail. Make sure the lock is at the 11:00 oclock or 1:00 oclock position like in the picture above. If there are deer in the area USE deer stops.
