#12 stainless picture wire works great too,just give it a tight enough twist so the loop slides freely,but don't come loose when they start pulling on it.

For rabbit snares I use the copper wire used for electric motors. I make a small loop at one end then pass the other end through the small loop. The whole snare wire is about 18" long. I like the soft copper wire as it stays felxible in cold temps, easy to work with and was they way my father taught me. I pick up the electirc motors at dumps, makes them very cheap that way.

The measure of a man is not in the success he has had but is in the goals he is working towards.

The Size of your Success can be Measured by the Strength of your Desire !!!
There is a difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT. When you are INTERESTED in something you do it only when it is CONVIENIENT. When you are COMMITED to something you ACCEPT NO EXCUSES and PRODUCE ONLY RESULTS.
I will meet you on your Turf...But it will be on My TERMS!!!
