Bender,

I've snared a hare or two. I made the snares from 1/16" wire rope and made my own stops from sheetmetal, though commercial stops would be the way to go.

Just wander through hare country, and wherever there is a low branch and hare tracks and turds running under them, hang the snare. I attached my snares with cable ties, but bailing wire or similar would work as well.

Works pretty slick, and I'm trying to find the closest spot to home that is open to trapping so I can get my kids to run a little line for hares.
