Are these Alberta power snares Marty Sennaker came up with the trigger system and kill spring legal to use in Iowa? Just dont know about the trigger design.
Thanks

kill spring illegal in iowa Not true. Kill springs are perfectly legal anywhere in Iowa. Senneker's should be totally legal too. Snares like the ram power snares (pictured below) are only legal completely under water though.  Here's the ones he's talking about.... ~ADC~ |

I knew the springs were leagal, just dident know about the trigger setup with the spring. Almost seems like a small ram snare with the trigger mechanism.

I see what you mean, but I think they would be legal. You could ask your CO I suppose to be sure. Maybe someone here has asked theirs specifically, or maybe one of them that frequents here will speak up. ~ADC~ |

Here's the ones he's talking about.... ~ADC~ so you are telling me that a kill spring is not a form of "mechanical"........i had a CO tell me several years ago i couldn't have a spring on the snare that made the snare close tighter after it had already closed on the animal, he said at that point the lock is no longer relaxing.....so a snare with a kill springs is legal on land? It is illegal to set any mechanically-powered snare designed to capture an animal by the neck or body unless the snare is placed completely under water. |

That's what I'm telling you Josh. The little killspring incorporated in the snares are legal, the big conibear spring powered snares are not. The difference is the coni spring closes the snare where the animals close the snare with the killspring. The little trigger on these particular ones may make a difference, I'm not positive. I'd use them if I wanted to, at least until I was told I couldn't.

if they are legal then go for it, have snared successfully without using them so don't know if it would be worth the extra trouble. i have tried a lot of different locks, my favorite...even though bulky, is the adc bent over washer lock, once it drops, it goes fast and is a bigger area hitting the fur and doesn't bite in as deep as a smaller lock
