I suggest you get some "Breakaway" fox snares, ones that let "non-target" animals out, but keep hold of the Fox, (you don't want to snare a Badger and depending where in the country you are Muntjac can be a nusance and it is also possible to neck snare Roe) I almost exclusively use breakaway snares now, also deer stops aren't compulsary but I strongly reccomend them, as you never know.

im from the midlands mate theres munjac,roe,fallow on the farm so going to be very careful but i havent seen any signs of brock around but i will get break away snares they are the ones that have got a stop on the wire aint them mate so the snare cant shut all the way all the best silenthunter........ *good* *good*

No mate they are Deer stops, for if a deer gets a leg through the snare it won't close right up and will allow the Deer to kick free.

What I'm on about is if you catch a non-target in your Breakaway, the eye of the snare itself fails and lets the non-target animal out.

I'll try and dig some pictures out.
