I learned the hard way, you want those snares dead center on trails.
They rarely back out of my loaded 3/32 snares.
here is a good video for all on how to load snares.

The set is about 10 feet from the line fence where the dogs come onto the property, kind of like a tunnel. The fence is laying down so hard to set it but there is a deer trail i seen them come in on. I set it right at the edge of my CRP where the trail come out.
It might be the dog I caught before cause the tracks came from my property to the snare. I caught a female in the same set last year.
Yesterday I had one knock a snare down. You could see his tracks and the snare missed.
Im going to do some resetting this weekend. Thanks, h.h.
