This is where most people fail.. I did when I learned at age 12. When any animal is trapped most will try its hardest to get out. Especially a rabbit (in Wisconsin) that is big, when you get it around the neck will charge as fast as it can. My first one was not tied strong enough to the branch I had it on.. Luckily my dad killed it before it ran back in the woods with the snare attached.
I have had friends trap them and they dont move at all, but back at my parents they all fight for their life, and usually break there own necks if that is what gets caught..
I really want to eat some rabbit now.. must wait until thanksgiving..
