ReferencesAbout This ArticleArticle SummaryX To make a free-standing rabbit snare, you’ll need 2 ½ feet of wire, 2 sticks, and a drill. Once you have all the supplies for your trap, you'll need to tie the wire into a noose, then drill a hole into one of the sticks so you can tie the noose to it. Then, you'll just need to drive both sticks into the ground so the noose is about 6 inches high, and prop the other end of the noose up with the second stick. When the rabbit hops through your noose, it will pull the wire noose tightly shut and kill the rabbit. For more tips, including where to set up your rabbit snare, read on! Did this summary help you?
