Dave, thir is significant use of snares, especially for coyote in the UP and northern Michigan. I used to routinely run into them, they actually put up signs stating that there was trapping and snaring going on in the are
a.

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." A quick google search indicates that it is NOT LEGAL to use a snare to trap unless it is underwater in your state. I would suggest that your Conservation Officer is either lazy or stupid if he does not know the laws on snares. I would not hesitate to contact him and point the law out and request that he find out the persons name and follow up with a summons, or you may need to talk to his supervisor. As this would make it an illegal snare and you were on the property legally you would be entitled to compensation if your property, ie, Dog, if he suffered harm.

In PA we have to be certified to use cable restraints. I am certified to use them. Cable restraints are made to “restrain” the animal. Snares are made to kill. I’ve never had an animal die in a cable restraint. If your dog almost died in a trap it would have been a snare. Glad your dog is alright.
