I carry cable cutters also, despite their significant weight. Two types of snares are commonly used, many states east of the Mississippi require relaxing snares, they relax/open a little when the animal relaxes,, thus the critters are still alive when you get their. In the west, many states do not require relaxing snares, and the catch will suffocate.
What kind of cable cutters do you carry Garry, I'd like to find a lighter pair.

My cable cutters. 5-6 mm cable is about as stout a cable used, this works on it. Side cutters more difficult to get under cable when tight. You may pinch/cut a little skin with these, but will be minor. Will be in my vest on upcoming SD trip.

Harold, I'll check my cutters later and post a photo. Elaine has a bit larger one.

Here's what has transpired after our report to the Conservation Enforcement Officer:

He called the landowner and was told that he'd giving permission to a local kid to trap. Apparently, the landowners can pretty much do what they want according to the Officer. He seemed frustrated. All of the signs and information regarding these public access lands clearly state that trapping is prohibited. We (strongly) suggested to the agent that the land be posted that trapping was occurring on the property.

In Missouri, it's illegal to destroy a trap or trap set. The one that caught Rill was destroyed. That set did not have a name tag which is required by law, and so, in my estimation was an illegal set, regardless of whether or not the landowner gave permission. It will be interesting to see if anything more comes of my destroying the set.

We only hunted a portion of the farm and found three coveys. It kills me not to be able to go back, and I will petition the state to deal with the trap issue. I seriously doubt anything will come of it. I support trapping and spent years trapping myself, but I will not knowingly risk the life or well-being of my dogs in an area where there are land set traps that might hurt or kill them.
