How do you make a squirrel snare?

Answer 1

Assuming you are making a snare from a rope or line, and depending on its size, use a bowline on the bight. If you are using a bigger line or cable, (1/4" or bigger ) use a whipped end or a small cable clamp. If you use a whipped end, be sure to glue your lashes. If you are using a steel cable, and if you don;t want to use a clamp or a whipped end on a cable, you can solder the end with a tight fitting ferrule or tube. Use a hammer to distort the shape of the tube.

Answer 2

tie a piece of whatever snare material you have be it rope or copper wire, on to the branch of a tree you know a squirrel has been climbing(you can usually tell by the scratchings on the trunk of the tree) and on the other end tie a bowline or other noose or sliding knot and place it above the branch. when the squirrel runs along the branch its head will get trapped and as it runs along the branch it will tighter eventually catching around its neck and, if done right, the squirrel should put off balance and will fall off the branch and get hung. this works for snares underneath branches as well since squirrels run underneath branches if it thinks there is a hawk or something flying above it so as to hide from it.
