Left: Trail set snare; note trigger. Right: Trail kinda blocked, to help guide the critter through the noose. Of the three mornings that I had this set, it was tripped once, with the noose drawn up but no evidence of any critter. The other two mornings, the noose had been disturbed by passing animals. The noose needs to be just the right size—too large, and animals will run through it; too small, they'll only push it aside.
