    Sean

    Check out how these boys set their rabbit snares.

    How to Make a Rabbit Snare - YouTube

    Could be a good school holiday project.

    Cheers

    You can use string as well Sean. Lay several snares to increase the probability of catching something. Don't be tempted to place them very close to a burrow entry as rabbits are particularly wary when they first exit their burrows. Good luck.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Living the dream. You'll get them mate. I've had a lot of luck with snares in the past. Just tie them toa s olid anchor and leave the set in the rabbits little highways. Away from the burrows works best. Good luck.

    I dont know if this track is from a rabbit, or just Grandads stupid dog, because his dog has made a few tracks
    But he said he saw a rabbit 2 days ago next to where i found the track
