guys, do any of you have experience with Thompson's snares? i have a hunting/tracking/live trap background, but have never snared anything. just looking for another skill to learn.

i read/saw somewhere about snaring squirrels on a set and was curious. seems like an item that takes up very little space and would be effective.

I have a few kits, like this:

One is in my snowmobile, one in my quad, still in the bags, never been opened.

Typically I just use standard snare wire, quicker and easier, and I always have some of that on me or in my bags
