Cutting Snares
« on: December 27, 2003, 02:04:02 PM »
Today I snared a nice boar coon and boy was he in a mess. He wrapped the snare around the fence so tight it almost cut into him. I bet I spent 30 minutes trying to cut the snare off the fence and off him with a pair of pliers and wire cutters. The size cable I am using is 3/32. What do you all do to cut snares off?

Thanks,
Zach Ellis :wink:

Thanks Guys. I think I have a pair of cable cutters somewhere around here but if not I will check into getting some. I'm tired of spending thirty minutes on a snared animal.

Thanks Again,
