A snare is a tool used for hunting wild animals, consisting of an anchored cable or wire noose that is set in a fixed location. While simple in design, it is effective at trapping small animals such as rabbits or squirrels; it can, however, be broken if a larger animal steps on it.
During the 18th century, the Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton regularly made use of snares while hunting in the Frontier. Although it was not their optimal use, Ratonhnhaké:ton could also use snares in combat, instantly dispatching an enemy by strangling them with the snare during a counter-attack.[1]
