Using snare pools to catch Chesapeake raccoon is perhaps one of the easiest and cheapest methods. This makes it an ideal removal method for the beginners. After you managed to grasp the basic of using the snares, it won' t take too long before you managed to capture the coon that is terrorizing your attic. In this article, we will discuss a few basics that will help you understand the proper use of snares.

The Fundamentals of Using Snare Poles in Catching Raccoon

When using a snare pool to deal with a Chesapeake raccoon you will need to consider the size of the creature, the size of your loop, and the movement of the animal when exposed on a different situation. These are some of the variables that you will need to think about when choosing your snares. For the raccoon, the snare should have at least 6-inch with regards to its diameter. This kind of loop is the average for all types of raccoon. This gives the highest probability to capture the raccoon on its neck that prevent the possible damage on the fur of the creature.

Find a snare pole that will not release when the Virginia animal start pulling it. Be sure that it comes with a lock. This creature is known for its great dexterity and can easily release their head off the snare once it has been loosen up. In case you do not have a trust in the locking mechanism of the snare pole, you should test the lock first in the shop before purchasing it. Contingent upon the vegetation and the terrain, there should be adjustment made on the height and the size of the snare pole. For the raccoons that are located in the vegetation, the loop should be at least 5-inch in diameter. 

Selection of Snare Poles

Choosing the type of snare and the right setup is perhaps the most difficult part of the Virginia raccoon snaring. There are at least three different cable' s sizes that can be used when snaring the raccoon; 3/32, 5/64, and 1/16. Avoid using snare poles with a smaller cable since it can be lethal and it can damage the raccoon' s pelt since it tends to dig deeply to the fur of the coons. The bigger cable would be the more ideal option since it will be harder for the raccoon to break them. 

These three different sizes are available in different configurations; 7x19, 7x7, and 1x19. The 7x19 can never be used as a Virginia snare pole since it is a bit soft. Nonetheless, you may use this for extending your pole. The 7x7 is also soft and highly susceptible to the chewing of the raccoon. Compared to the 7x19, this is a more decent option when catching the raccoon. 1x19 is the commonly used snare poles when catching creature as large as the raccoon. It is hard that prevents the animal from chewing it. The strands are closely woven that makes it tough.

These are just some of the factors that you need to think about when snaring the Chesapeake raccoon. Be sure that you will familiarize yourself on using the snares before you start capturing the raccoon.
