Welcome to the world of Mink and Muskrat Snaring.

The answer is: At certain locations the snare will out-perform any other method of capture that Trappers and Snaremen have available.

Wild Hogs become very wary of pen-type traps after a few initial catches, and quickly avoid bait sites after being shot at. Snares are an effective, fast, mobile, inexpensive method of controlling hog populations, and are deadly on wary hogs. After considerable experimentation, master snaresman Newt Sterling has developed and designed equipment and methods in a system guaranteed to catch and hold hogs ranging in size from piglets to the largest boar.
