Before it started raining, I had about 8 snares set at hog crossings of fences. Normally, I would try to check them daily. With the wet, I was not able to get out there to check snares for about two weeks; did so today. Found TWO hog remains and about four snares that had to be reset. When a hog dies trying to escape the snare, he ruins the snare. SO, I just ordered three more dozen snares. About $3 each but well worth it for a high catch rate.
Added later. The first photo shows sparse remains of a hog. The second shows a snare set and ready to catch. The third shows a large hog that about 20 vultures had been working on when I approached this afternoon. Yesterday, the hog was much bigger and did not stink.
