Every year hunting excitement overtakes many novice hunters who are just learning the basics of this lesson. Experts do not recommend that beginners immediately go to the animal, the first season needs to be observed and learned how to set loops and traps.
Instructions
Step 1
Hare loops can be made from nylon, hemp, and other natural materials, but the best option would be to make a durable reusable loop from a soft metal wire with a thickness of up to 1 mm. The diameter of the loop for a hare is about 20 cm. Take the softest metal possible - usually a thin steel or copper wire is used, its length for one loop is a meter - one and a half. This wire must be designed so as to withstand a load of at least 20 kg.
Step 2
Form a loop of the loop by twisting the short end of the wire around the rest of the wire. Insert the second end of the wire into the formed ring - the loop for the hare is ready.
Step 3
Before fishing, review all existing loops, clean them from dirt, rust, check for strength so that the animal does not break it during fishing. Make double stitches for extra strength. If the loop is made of a material that the hare is able to gnaw, a special tubular bone with a hole must be put on it, which will allow it to slide along the rope without hindrance.
Step 4
During installation, the hinge should not touch the ground - lift its lower edge about 6-8 cm from the ground. Tie the loop itself to a nearby bush or tree so that a hare does not twist it.
Step 5
The loops on the ground are hardly noticeable, but it is still difficult to catch a hare with the help of loops, because although he does not see the loop, he can be alerted by the smell from it, which is noticeably different from the smell of the surrounding land or plants. Therefore, before installing, wipe the loop with a branch of a spruce or other tree. Set up a trap in the area of hare trails that are clearly visible in loose snow.
Step 6
Hare hunting can be carried out by corral. Loop around the part of the forest where more hare trails have been found. Return to the center of this section and start rutting. Drive out hares with loud noise, shouting, use various ratchets. After some noise, check the loops and remove most of them, leaving only in the most well-trodden paths overnight.
Step 7
This method of catching hares has many positive aspects. The loops are checked immediately, therefore predators do not damage the hares that come across; when chasing, hares are easier to fall into a loop, because, while running away, they do not notice it.
