Re: snare height
General rule is 10" loop 10" off the ground, check your local regs as you may have a loop size restriction.

Re: snare height
I will on trail snares for coyote go 10-12" off the ground with a 12" loop. Every animal is different if you want to try and target something. going down I run about 9" off the bottom for coyotes.
