Snare among pine trees (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net

'snare' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'among pine trees' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NET' is hidden in the letters of 'pine trees'.

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Meshwork" , "Catch; fine fabric" , "Amount remaining after deductions" , "Final profit when all overheads have been deducted" , "Fish-catcher" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
