Snares are certainly legal here and I've tried them. My problem is that they are so indiscriminate.

I don't kill coyotes, foxes, bobcats, etc. I kinda like them. I personally think that coyotes and bobcats are about the only thing that is on my side. Neighbors dogs are a different story.

I snared a beautiful fox which I regret.

I have 4 teenagers who will be hunting this year(again). They take a very occasional hog but their presence might help.

I'm going to move my trap to a different place in some very thick brush. I'm betting that works. Or, at least I hope it does. I'll use diesel soaked corn for bait. Hogs are about the only thing that are attracted to that.

A neighbor caught a young buck in his trap that broke it's neck when they were trying to release it.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
