Got one question I am fuzzy on. The purpose of the spring on the snares? Is that to secure the wire with instead of crimping directly to the cable? 2nd question. Do you have any experience with the military speed hook for survival fishing? If so what is your evaluation of it.
Taking the kit to my girlfriends place in Alabama this weekend. After she sees it I know she will want one. As for now I plan on practicing with them until I can have success. Plenty of rabbits down there. Plan on ordering some more snares after a little practice, cause like you I fear we will see some hard times ahead. Thank you for high quality products and the most invaluable knowledge and insight. Also thanks for the little flashlight. You are a invaluable resource. God Bless, John
I've already got my Emergency Survival Snare Kit from Buckshot and the quality is great. I'll be trapping some squirrels soon for practice/learning/ keeping the buggers from eating MY food that I grow cuz I can't afford to keep spending money in this economy. Thanks Buckshot.
I'd like to order more stuff! I showed the
Emergency Snare Kit to my father-in-law who
knows how to snare, and does a lot of trapping. He was most impressed with
your snares and commented
"Now THIS is how you build a snare!"
Needless to say, I didn't get to bring my snare kit home with me :) he liked it
so much that I told him I'd buy another.
Buckshot,
Your Wilderness Survival DVDs are the best on the market. I have collected Survival Videos and Survival books for 20 years and nobody comes close to all the information you have in your videos. I tell my friends forget the rest and buy the best from Buckshot.
Buckshot,
I just saw your "Wilderness Survival DVD Volume 1" and I must say, it is the best wilderness video I have ever seen. I have seen a lot of them too. I teach wilderness survival classes. Keep up the good work. Alaska
I have Tom Brown books. I have the Ragnar books. I've had classes in primitive trapping..........My advice? Get with Buckshot- by far and away the best source I know of. Get his book, (Buckshot's Complete Survival Trapping Guide) ask him What DVDs You Need. Read and watch and then call him for advice on traps and what not - he is a great guy to do business with.

Buckshot,
Your Survival Snaring DVD and Your Snares did the trick. I caught the 2 red fox that were raiding my chicken coop. Then a friend and myself snared 2 wild hogs. 1 weighed 125 lbs., the second was 150 lbs.

"I trust Bruce's extensive knowledge to help me out with survival skills for hard times. These DVDs and Snares are wonderful teaching tools and I really appreciate Bruce's no nonsense teaching style and professional snares. My family is now assured of plenty of game meat in most emergency situations. Really wonderful high octane information. Thanks Bruce." Dan In Canada 10-2008

"I don't usually feel the need to comment on a company product or service but when someone impresses you these days, you really have to. I ordered the Emergency Snare Kit, Repair Kit, Survival Snaring DVD, Advanced Snaring DVD, Ultimate Trapping Tips DVD and the Skinning DVD from Buckshot at www.snare-trap-survive.com and could not be happier. I received the snares and DVD's in about a week. Considering that I snail mailed him a check, he must have shipped the same day which is rare.
I don't believe the snares could be any higher
in quality. The
SNARES are some of the best survival food gathering tools I
have seen. The DVDs are packed with information and give you top information
for success. The snare kit also came in a nice "Fanny pack" that holds
everything you need. I have already recommended this product to friends so
that is saying something.
Thank you Bruce. Scott in MS"

Buckshot,
Ordered your
Emergency Survival Snare Kit along with the
Survival Snaring DVD and
Ultimate Trapping
Tips DVD.
All I can say is WOW!
The snares are the best quality I have ever seen! The DVD's are very
informative and well done.
I have been live trapping for almost 6 yrs, and to be honest I thought I was
pretty good at it. Till I watched your ultimate trapping tips DVD. Now
I realize
I have been missing most of the game that comes through my area.
I have now switched to the conibear 110 traps set up as you described and
in just 1 night I doubled what I normally get in a week!
With the quality of traps and snares you sell, the super fast shipping and
personal integrity and honesty, you have just earned a lifetime customer. I will
be looking to you for all my future trapping needs!

"Good communications from start to finish with my order. Fast shipping, DVDs arrived within the same week! Bruce knows his stuff about trapping and the friendly customer service goes a long way."

After viewing both of these DVDs, (Beginning Trapping DVD and 10 Homemade Traps DVD) twice, I am convinced that even the experienced trapper will pick up some pointers. Ole Buckshot walks you through trapping and all the tricks. You will see how, where, when, what time, all explained in a clear concise manner. "While it is clear these are not 'professionally shot' DVDs, Buckshot, more than makes up for that by loading you up with 'Professional' information, holding nothing back, that clearly has taken years of hard work to obtain the knowledge and skill he shares with you!!!!!"

"Buckshot's 10 Homemade Traps DVD", is a real deal! He shows you how to make traps that are so easy and cheap to put together that you've got no excuse, even if you're broke!!!

Hey Bruce,
I got your new book, Buckshot's Complete Survival Trapping Guide on Monday, Awesome Book! Lots and lots of simple easy to understand ideas and techniques. I like your idea of urban camouflage your right, nobody would give you a second look. Like you taught, the trails are everywhere if you know how and where to look. Yep, the single wire loop snares are a joke like you said. I tested one and it was broke the first check. Sure glad I found that out before my life depends on using them. I like how you did a comparison in numbers of trapping versus hunting, a lot of hunters will be in for a rude awakening when TEOTWAWKI happens and I agree with you it's coming sooner or later.
I took a hunter safety class years ago and heard a true story about a bow hunter who fell out of his stand and broke his leg. By the time his wife and daughter found him when he didn't show up for dinner, the THREE! coyotes he had been fighting off with an arrow had ripped up his arms so bad he took over 200! stitches in each arm! Thanks for getting the truth out about predator control and why it is needed.
Again Great Book! Gerry

Bruce,
I had just received my most recent order (one out of many) with your new
Buckshot Complete Survival Trapping Guide and I can honestly say that
after 25 years of buying almost every VHS, DVD, and book on the subject that
this is the key to closing the door on my quest for Survival information.
After reading your book and buying all available
DVD's I noticed you
share a lot of respect and knowledge of Nature and her animals. I have
not seen this since leaving my home on a north central Montana Native
American reservation years ago. The information you have is either learned
by trial and error over many years at a great cost, sometimes at a life or
two, or passed down generation to generation where I come from and since it
was not taught to me I can proudly say I found it with you after all the
years.

Hey Buckshot,
Enclosed photo is of a opossum neck snared using your Medium Game Snares. My French-Canadian wife brined him overnight, stuffed with onions and roasted in the oven. The small deer concept in practice.
To feed my family today, I'm not forced to rely on trapping or snaring raccoon, opossums, etc... But if I had to - no problem. The right equipment stashed away and regular practice beforehand is cheap insurance.
Really like your new Complete Survival Trapping Guide Book. It is a great read and re-read. Plenty of practical advice.
In my suburban area, I would be surprised if one in five thousand adults even consider these animals a possible food resource. In the event of a Societal collapse, my guess is that trapping and snaring competition would be non-existent.

Hey Bruce,
I just received your Ultimate Trapping Tips & Tricks DVD. Wow!
Opening up with that huge pile of Beavers and bonus Raccoon and Muskrat, I almost fell out of my chair!
The critics say you don't know what you are doing? HA, HA, HA Those that can do, those that can't criticize!
You always back up your methods with caught critters.
Everything on this DVD was simple and easy to follow and understand.
And I learned a ton more. It's simple and obvious once you understand.
I have yet to see anyone else that covers survival trapping the way you do, just like you said 99% of what is out there is hocus pocus drawings and still pictures with complicated methods and no catches. Keep up the good work!
On a different note, the feds, state and local towns are all spending there way into oblivion.
They don't care, they think they will never run out of tax money. (Yeah, right!)
Gerald Celente is right, next year the other shoe is going to drop.

Be prepared,

Hey Buckshot,
Thanks for teaching me how to snare.
I learned about you from an article in American Survival Guide Magazine 8 or 9 years ago.
I ordered Emergency Snare Kits and other things from you when you were in Michigan. My first catch ever was a bobcat and I was sold on the potential of snaring. I'm in a suburban area for the most part but I keep a garden, chickens and rabbits. I have snared problem raccoons and opossums (Buckshot's Medium Game Snares) to protect the garden and chickens.
I have your Modern Trappers Guide Book and am looking forward to your new book, The Complete Survival Trapping Guide.
Thanks again. Hope North Dakota is good for you.
Sincerely,
S. In Florida
P.S.
Useful info. from your book was to adjust snare loop size smaller if snare closed down with no catch. Also, to reduce loop size in areas (like mine) with smaller animals.
I would like to know of any experience or knowledge you have about snaring armadillos.

love the snares Bruce just order 12 small 12 medium and have already snared pheasant and some squirrel even a raccoon in a tree.
From Mark - Came To Camp Buckshot & Was Trained by Buckshot
I am a police officer who became interested in trapping and snaring after running across Buckshot’s website a few years ago. As a Christmas present, my wife contacted Buckshot and arranged for me to take Buckshot’s trapping and snaring course.
For four days in May, 2010, I stayed at Camp Buckshot in North Dakota. Buckshot gave me lectures on the character and habits of different species of wild animals, the law, politics and ethics of trapping, the use of the right traps/equipment for each specific situation, as well as a wide variety of other related topics.
I began calling Buckshot “Professor” because he clearly had reached the PhD. level of knowledge about wildlife and trapping. Professor Buckshot lectured and demonstrated trapping and snaring to me, as well as skinning and tanning pelts (I brought home a muskrat pelt and a mink pelt). He clarified and refined concepts about trapping that books could not teach me.
I really recommend Buckshot’s training to anyone with an interest in snaring or trapping. Professor Buckshot will teach you everything you need to know about trapping and snaring and you’ll have a great time at “Buckshot U."
