Rig a Snare:
In a survival situation, snares are a good way to catch some food. They can be made from wire, fishing line, twine, strips of leather or cloth, rope or even shoelaces.
Step One:
When using wire or other stiff material, bend the tip over and twist several times to form an eye. The run the wire's other end through the eye to form the noose. When using more pliant materials, make a loop that's closed with a slipknot.
Step Two:
Suspend the noose in a game trail, den hole entrance or other spot where animals are likely to pass. The noose should be large enough for the animals head to pass through, but not its shoulders, so it will draw tight and hold the forward-moving animal.
Step Three:
Attach each snare to a solid anchor such as a nearby tree or a stake driven into the ground.
Check them frequently.

Another tip is set many, one will never do if you want to eat the next morning, set at least 6 that will ensure 9 times out 10 you get 1 to eat!
