This type of snare utilizes the elasticity of tree branches. Once the prey triggers the mechanism, the branch will quickly spring up, thereby pulling the rope on the ground and hoisting the animal into the snare.
Snagging snares typically snare the hooves of animals, so in most cases they can catch live prey.
Prey caught in wire snares are usually strangled to death.
After finishing the last sling, Sheng Xiping carefully covered the rope loop with fine soil and fallen leaves.
Then he clapped his hands, satisfied, and went down the mountain to go home.
"Master, I want to take Erlang Shen and General Hei home first."

"No need, the team is busy, and my eldest and second eldest brothers are also busy."
"Isn't the roof beam of our house going to be raised the day after tomorrow? I'm thinking of going into the mountains to catch some pheasants or rabbits to have a couple more dishes for lunch."
Sheng Xiping chuckled and explained.

The prey caught in the snare is sometimes targeted by lynxes, foxes, weasels, or wolves.
The key issue is that in summer, vegetation grows wildly, and the dense foliage of trees obstructs the view.
Dogs have a keen sense of smell, which can give early warnings and help them avoid unnecessary dangers.
