Squirrel pole, anyone have a pic. What size wire, how big a loop, and how far apart should loops be. Should the pole be set on a 45 deg angle for them to run up on. Thanks, Grant

yes the pole should be set at a 45 degree angle.the loop should be 3 inches,spaced aprox 3 feet apart.the size of cable is 1/32 (squirrel,pine martin) or 3/64 for Squirrel,mink and rabbit.these snares can be shortened and set even closer .just make sure it's legal and make sure you check several times due to birds of prey getting the Squirrel .
