Snares or traps? Anyone have any experience? Lets say squirrels, rabbits, that kind of thing.

Snares for rabbit, I'd go with traps for everything else but I have limited experience based on local wildlife only. -
I've read snares are best for everything.
But I don't know. My expertise is fishing. I've always wanted to learn how to trap.
I keep a small snare set kit and simple waterproof instructions in my kits. But I would probably use my .22lr SR22 with suppressor I keep in my kit first. It's quite and a whole lot easier. But the traps and snares work while you are doing something else. So there is that.
I also have an auto kit for fishing so I can leave while collecting.A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

The way I trap squirrels is I use the large victor rat traps. Nail them to a tree and bait with peanut butter. It works. Then after cleaning them, I boil them in a brine til the meat falls off the bone. Then pan fry in butter and garlic til browned.Comment

I heard about that technique before. It sounds simple and effective.

I trapped my first fox last year. She now hangs over my fireplace until I figure out how to make a quiver out of her. I used a 220 body grip trap. I have used hand made snares to catch rabbits. Caught a skunk in both types of traps. I don't like catching skunks.Comment

I bet screwing one of those rat traps to a slightly larger piece of wood, then staining or painting it to waterproof it, would help with it's durability. I'm going to run and pick a few up and work with them some."L E X - T A L I O N I S"Comment
