Yes, I love snaring them yotes. Have snared 21 on my 33 acres in the last 2 years. Should be putting some out soon.

How about a little advise on where to purchase or build some.
Ideas on how to set them up?
There are plenty of them in my neighborhood and I would enjoy a winter project of eliminating a few.

The best place i have found is snareshop.com I bought a few different kinds of snares from them and then bought a starter pack with cable and all the hardware to make my own. The best places to set snares is along fence rows on the edge of fields or along farm roads on field edges. If you can find paths or places where they crawl under fences your gonna snare one. Use a 10 inch loop 10 inches off the ground. You will want to boil the snares in baking soda for about 15 minutes to dull them up and get all the oil off the cable.
Good Luck

Read the regs regarding what snare is legal and what one is not legal. IIRC they all need deer stops.

Go out during a snow and find where they are crawling under fences. Mark the top of the fence above each crossing with orange flagging tape so that you can find it again if there is no snow. Then, once you have your snares prepared and ready to go, you can return to each of these crossings. If the crossing is wide, take some branches, etc. and narrow the gap down to where they have to go through the snare's loop. Attach the snare with a stout piece of wire to the nearest fence post.
You can also suspend a snare off the ground on a trail with a piece of wire attached to a tree along the trail, but it's a little more difficult than fence crossings. Try to choose an area of the trail that is narrowed by briars, etc. for best results.
