Also the way they’re set makes a big difference. Loop size, cable diameter. No entanglement etc..

Ok. . I get the difference I suppose.
So I guess they just decided it needed to be called something different to avoid confusion over what can be used where and how it must be set up?
It's still a snare. .

No it is not.

That snare you can set in water doesn’t have half the extra components on it. They’re set mainly for beaver.

The “snare” can kill a dog. A cable restraint with a relaxing lock will not. All when set properly of course.

No it is not.

So if I am understanding this correctly, it is the specified diameter of the steel wire. . the breakaway and the stop device that makes the difference between a snare and a cable restraint device?

Every state is different. It’s kinda strange that you’re snare cable isn’t allowed to be smaller diameter.

The main difference is the break away device and the way you have to set them compared to snares. You can use a 15 inch loop with a snare and only a 12 with a cable restraint.

The 2.5 inch stop device is on both. It’s to allow a leg caught deer go.

I had just never heard of a "cable restraint device" before.
I suppose I stand corrected. .

It's just a "fancy" snare.

Yeah pretty much. Cable restraints actually kinda suck but they’re better than no cable at all.
The thinner the cable the faster the loop closes. The thinner the cable the deadlier too. The thin cable closes tightly and can cut off blood flow without actually killing an animal. It can cause “water head” and cerebral edema.

I'm not interested in beaver.
Maybe coyote. .
Trapping season starts Nov. 15.
We wanna do some camping out at our school house place and maybe do some trapping while we are there. Lots of raccoon and coyote out there.
Trying to study up.
