Setting And How A Belisle Foot Snare Works

some ways of anchoring the snare





if using a drag attach trap link to snare cable or run snare cable Thur trap link so when trap falls off you won't loose trap

unset trap



lift pan and place spacer bar between jaws



compress springs and hook in catch



spread jaws apart and hook safety



place snare in trap and replace spacer bar under pan



flip dog and set pan, bed trap and sift dirt( safety hook will save snapped fingers) when finished take safety off and blend


When animal steps on pan trap grabs foot with snare above



animal jumps back, snare tightens



animal struggles releasing springs( for easier release for foxes spring catches can be filed down)



leaving snare on animal's foot



what I like about these traps is long springs so bed solid, safety hooks to pack dirt in around trap and if I can't check next day I set the safeties and spring trap, doesn't ruin set as bad, next time reset as usual; lighter to carry, small jaws so trap springs faster, the trap part usually get pushed to edge of catch circle so less beat up. I only thing I don't like is have to dig a bigger bed than coil-spring.
