a classic episode of the simpsons when homer made a spring snare wait for it bart wait for it ping fires the rabbit over the trees...

Definitely one of the funniest bits of the Simpsons (remeber they all have a moral )
I was told that any trap with a trigger is now illegal in the UK but, nice original post

"A springy shat with spear attached is suspended over a trail. "

Love it. Wouldn't the smell frighten off any game?

I've caught rabbits for dinner using a snare a few times, never knew about some being illegal. but then i've only ever used a pegged snare before.

There's nothing wrong with snaring rabbits for dinner as long as you've got permission and you're using the right kit in the right way. That the hard part of it all, knowing the relevant law and being able to make/set up the snare correctly, you're probably doing just fine.
