wondering if any hunters on here can help me with setting up

>>797821
why not use regular rat traps?

>>798347
Because opie is a hipster faggot

>run the tail of the wire through the loop

5 gallon roller mouse trap

Lethal/non lethal.

non toxic.

Problem solved.

You realise that snares are also non-discriminatory traps, right? just because it's a snare doesn't mean it will only catch what you want it to catch.

1. Remove spindle
2. Pour gasoline on rats
3. Light it up
4. ???????
5. PROFIT!!!

Get this you massive fag.

>>799798
Do they keep doing this when there are 15 dying screaming rats on the bottom?

>Gullible quarry

so basically, yes. You'd be surprised how dumb they are and how individualistic they are. They don't give a fuck about those other rats, they just want the food.

>>801213
I always heard rats were highly intelligent and have rats in their squads who test new food sources for safety reasons

they get observed by the others and they'll start eating when they are sure nothing is fishy

thats the reason why good rat poison takes a long time to work

>>801233
oh, i checked this myth and it seems to be wrong

they get cautious when they find a dead mate and are sometimes able to link it to the food that it ate

>>797821
>I don't want to use poison because I have a ton of other wildlife in my garden that I don't want to kill
And what exactly will stop those snares from at least hurting other wildlife?

Why not go with an air rifle? More fun, more humane, won't hurt anyother wildlife (unless you are the worst shot ever and you fuck up big)

>>801236
Most municipalities in syrup land don't permit use of air rifles outdoors inside city limits. I'd imagine most cities in thr UK and US are similar

>>799798
tried this recently its pretty shit unless you have a big infestation. Also non lethal one is shit cause they just jump out.

This way is better if you dont want to reset traps.

Personally normal mouse/rat traps work best though.

If you live in good old jolly England you could see if there are any Ratter clubs around.
