I want to buy some snares for yotes and I want a snare that will not kill but hold so the questions what snare do I want? Ive got neighbors on two sides off me and dont want to kill any pet dogs or deer.
Ive did some research on the net and I think the relax cable slide with a deer stop and swivel is what i want. What do you all think? h.h.

They work pretty good. The other thing you want to keep in mind is not to have any trees of objects in reach of the snare for them to get tangled up in. This could keep the snare from relaxing and kill the animal.

When I went to the FTA trappers school in LaGrange, IN several years ago Keith Gregerson was there and taught the snare course. I have always used his products when buying pre- made snares and have always had great results. I have never used this model snare he makes, but it was designed for the live coyote market and I would think should work for your situation. It is pretty expensive. I have also bought bulk cable and relaxing locks. and made my own and installed deer stops. You can save a lot of money doing this after you get the tools to do in with. The highest tool is the crimping tool. www.snareshop.com/PROFESSIONAL-LIVE-COYOTE-SNARE/productinfo/SNARE503/ |

I use mirco locks with deer stops from the snareshop. Like schall53 said if the animal can get caught up on a tree or fence then it can basically strangle itself. Most yotes I have caught are still alive with these snares and I have found out that when you do catch a dog in them a dog usually will not go crazy and bounce around like a yote. A dog usually will just cower down and stay put in my experience.

From our DNR:
Snares
It is only legal to use a snare to trap a wild animal on land you own or with the written permission of the landowner. The maximum legal circumference for snare loops is 15 inches, unless at least half of the snare loop is covered by water or if the snare employs a relaxing snare lock. A relaxing snare lock allows the snare loop to loosen slightly to reduce the possibility of strangulation. Regulations on snare size and lock are designed to prevent accidental loss of domestic animals.
I just called the snare shop and ordered what was legal for Indiana. I also got the heavy gauge wire to hold the snare in place, and I also ordered the extra long snares - makes it easier to tie them off.
