The image and snare were first published back in the 2003 Oct ed... of Field and Stream...
I used this with limited success... better if you bait this snare... but it is fun to learn to make these things...
TWITCH-UP SNARE
Tie a small overhand loop
knot in your parachute
cord. Then fold the loop
back on itself to form
Mickey Mouse ears and
weave the tag end through
the ears.
(a). To build the
twitch-up snare, use more
cord to tie a spring pole
or the branch of a small
tree in tension.
(b). Set
up a trigger mechanism
like the one shown.
(c).When the animal’s head
goes through the loop, the
trigger is released, and it
snatches the animal into
the air, out of reach of
other predators.
