Stoday, go away and set a snare

I used to know an old poacher when I was small and his famous saying was "It's a long time dark"! He used to catch lots of rabbits, I suppose he snared them.
The kid got what he deserved!

Bloody Hell it's all getting a bit complicated here nowadays LOL

I've never really spent any time with folk who use snares so I can't say if they are good or bad.

All I know is I don't like snares - cos I wouldn't like to die like that.

But we've got to accept snaring, trapping and gassing is a lot more efficient in killing vermin than shooting it.

So if it's a matter of being eaten out of house and home then folk will make their desicions and it's up to them to feel good or bad about it.

Stod's cleared up about the ratchet type snares (thanks for that) and I do think they are as bad as trapping gets.

As for all folk using snares being evil - I dunno. I'm pretty sure PETA would have something to say about me shooting them. The rabbits - not the folk setting the snares (just to clear things up LOL)

I guess we are all bad in one way or another, depends who is judging us..!

Nothing wrong with shooting rabbits, I reckon, long as you are a good shot so they drop dead.

Snares seem to take a lot longer to 'do their job' as it were, which is why I personally don't like the idea of them - and don't like the people who use them.

on another topic, my reply just shows how punctuation - or lack of it - can change the meaning of a sentence - sorry Slugster, for apparently putting words in your mouth

Now where is the kill zone of a buzzard again, exactly?

So Hoovie thinks shooting rabbits is preferable to snaring them. I don't agree.

You need a rifle or shotgun to shoot them (airguns are not powerful enough to kill easily). There are already too many guns around. A few more, even though they are legal, can be stolen and used for killing people.

I put people before rabbits.
