ABSTRACT:
An animal snare includes a built-in force urging the snare loop toward a constricted, relatively small triggered position from a larger setting position. When the snare is released from the triggered position by an animal, the built-in force accelerates constriction of the loop, preventing animal escapes that might otherwise occur. The snare includes a flexible cable having opposed anchor and loop ends, with the loop end slidably engaged by a catch to an intermediate portion of the cable to form the constrictable ensnaring loop and for releasably, frictionally restraining the loop end relative to the intermediate portion when the snare is in its setting position. The built-in force is introduced during manufacture of the snare by giving a permanent set to the portion of the snare cable proximate its loop end. The catch may be a U-shaped clip having two opposed legs, one leg having a hole through which the cable passes and the other leg having an elongated slot through which the cable passes and which is aligned with the hole.
