Mr. Canoehead 69 Report post Posted January 18, 2020 Hey guys, I have never had a problem leaving the rabbit snares out for days. Even after I get them I have kept them whole and frozen with guts in until I want to use them. Is that a bad isea? Someone was suggesting to me that meat would be contaminated from leaving the guts in. Hmm I never thought that would be a problem since it's always frozen solid when I find it anyways. What do you guys do? If you always check the next day do you thaw the rabbit and gut it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what part of frozen guts would contaminate the meat.

eyelander 164 Report post Posted January 19, 2020 Probably the only time you shouldn't is if it was somehow damaged in it's gut. Using a snare shouldn't cause any gut problems though. A bud of mine snared one around the gut one time somehow but it was still alive when he checked the snare so no problem.

rceme74 20 Report post Posted June 19, 2020 If I had to travel to the area to snare, I would check traps every other day. As for cleaning them, straight away. Never had any issues. I was more afraid of loosing a snare, so they were all marked on the GPS. It was fun and good learning for the kids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
