A reader asks if it's legal to snare rabbits in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 50, which extends north of Huntsville to South River.

Good luck and play safe

I didn’t know this as well. What do they mean by net. ?

[Muskyhunter]

I kind of think it is odd you cant used stainless steel wire in Ontario. I have seen it sold in stores locally for that purpose.

[Markster]

Likely something to do with tensile strength of the wire and how much force it takes to break.

I’m guessing Brass wire is “more sensitive” and it’s a more ethical kill than steel. Way back when I set snares it was always brass wire and a thin gauge. My dad and I always had fun with it checking our snares in the morning. Those rabbits ran all night to keep warm -40. There was always snares that rabbits ran right through. Fun times wmu22
