[QUOTE=wharfeego;135137]did yer leave the snare in place? Even though "free-runnin" snares are still legal I think it's an 'ellish asty control method...mind you all them upland ground-nestin birds you saw will stand a much better chance of raisin there yung'uns wi'out stoats 'n weasels 'n charlie fox predatin 'em.
Surprised there was a stoat in it...snares are normally set fo' rabbits 'n foxes.
That was a public information message.
Trap was too small for a fox and given location it wasn't for a rabbitt or hare.
Don't know for certain hence the ? it was semi decomposed but about 25cms long grey brown fur thin with long tail Stoat/Weasel/sharp pointy teeth! ?Originally Posted by Grouse
The traps were set out side a purpose built hole(nest) with an egg in side. I've got the GRef and picture on another unoccupied snare found same day, we set it off and then buried both snare and hole.
