Guitar string snares?

I DO want it. Can I PM you my email address?

Also, how will the snare with a guitar string stay tight?

Yup, people underestimate the strength of a struggling animal, even squirrels. The anchoring point is the most important part of the trap... if your snare breaks from the anchor, your out a meal and your snare wire.
Biggest tip I have there is to not tie it down in a way that'll kink the wire.
This is another reason I like spring snares... usually breaks the animal's neck. Just have to make sure your wire and anchoring point are strong enough.

Rabbit does sound pretty good. Kinda hesitant to eat the ones around here though, being a suburban area I have no idea what they eat.

PM me your email and I'll send it to ya.
One of these days I need to compress the folder with all the good stuff in it and upload it to a file hosting site or something.

I'm pretty sure that the coiled wire on the E through D strings will keep it from slipping back easily, and even so the weight of the animal should keep it tight.

The rabbits around here get worms under their hide during the summer months. I'm not sure if they get them up where y'all are. Even with the horrible drought, this year has been great for the rabbit population. My brother's 150 acres is overflowing with rabbits and I've really been wanting to put a few in a stew.

As far as the guitar string snares, I would snip that end off and just make a loop. If the barrel rolls a little bit it kinda hangs up on the wire. A regular loop in the end of the wire would be your best bet.

On another hunting note, Tuesday night we have a cold front blowing through and that just happens to be my favorite time to hunt hogs. The dove have also started moving down in droves. From the looks of it I'm going to spend at least a few days/nights hunting down there this week. It's also archery season for deer, so I might take my bow along and kill one of them as well. While I'm there I'll put out a few snares and see what I can come up with.

Consider every post by myself and others in this thread, both prior to and after this posting, to be purely hypothetical.
Does that satisfy your PCness?

I have a PDF about traps in my big file directory of everything survival-related if you want it... covers everything from basic snares, to deadfalls, to fish traps.
