they make deer stops for them.

The breaking strength on 3/16" SS cable is around 3700lbs. How do you figure a hog wound up exerting that much pressure on the snare? Rolling around and twisting the cable up in a knot? I'd like to know, I've seen similar things happen with large beaver caught in snares that should have held the beaver and more. Trapped animals sometimes seem to do the impossible.
