Strategy tips

Loop snares operate almost like pit traps for small animals. They do not require bait and seem to work best when placed in long lines along tree lines, particularly near water sources or crop fields.

All but the smallest animals run straight through loop snares. Triggered, empty loop snares generally indicate that a larger animal has passed through. (Or you stepped on your own trap without noticing!)

Loop snares immobilize rather than kill, but it's still wise to check on them often. The presence of small animals can attract larger predators, who may raid your trap line. (Consider ways to use this to your advantage!)
