Copper Snare Tags

As of april 1st 2013- all snares in Scotland must be marked with the unique id number of the person who set them- as well as a letter indicating the target species (i.e. "r" for rabbit- "f" for fox and "bh" for brown hare). ID numbers are only being issued to people who have sat the snaring accreditation courses run by basc- gwct- sga or sacs and who have applied at their local police station.

Solway Feeders supplies copper tags which can be attached to snares- ensuring that they comply with current legislation. The blank tags can be engraved with a ball point pen or we can stamp them for you at additional cost as illustrated in the photograph . If you would like us to stamp your tags- please remember to supply your unique id number when ordering.

There are a number of ways to attach these tags to your snares- and copper will quickly tarnish and soon become almost invisible to target animals in grass or undergrowth. Importantly- however- the identification marks will remain easily legible to humans as per legal requirements. It is also worth remembering that these tags are useful for marking larsen traps and crow cages - another legal requirement in Scotland. Dimensions: 3.5cm x 5cm x 7cm (with tail) weight: 1g
