Does anyone know away to lure a snare so the aminals will pass through it to get to the lure?

Raccoon Trapper,

While I'm sure some have done this and had success, generally you do not want lure near or on your snares. This could cause the animal to slow down or stop it's natural travel pace. You want to set your snares in established trails. When the animal uses these trails over and over they usually do not get skitish. Applying lure, as I stated, could cause them to change it's normal travel pace and could actually take them off the trail. Beaver trappers will sometimes use lure at a specific point beyond the snare, but here the snare is in water, not on land.

I agree with Jack that you don't want lure on or near your snare. I use snares where trails naturally narrow down. Other good locations are on logs crossing creeks, and on beaver dams. Land animals use these to cross the creek and you can take a lot of fur at these locations. I have taken coon, coyote, fox, and especially bobcats at such locations.
