Good luck and play safe

I didn’t know this as well. What do they mean by net. ?
I kind of think it is odd you cant used stainless steel wire in Ontario. I have seen it sold in stores locally for that purpose.
Likely something to do with tensile strength of the wire and how much force it takes to break.
I’m guessing Brass wire is “more sensitive” and it’s a more ethical kill than steel. Way back when I set snares it was always brass wire and a thin gauge. My dad and I always had fun with it checking our snares in the morning. Those rabbits ran all night to keep warm -40. There was always snares that rabbits ran right through. Fun times wmu22

Does this mean one doesnt need a trapping license in addition to their small game license for snaring hares?
correct. In the WMU's where its allowed a small game license allows you to snare rabbits.
