And I'm wondering if they can spot them in the moonlight, wouldn't it be ten times worse in the daylight? How can one be sure they aren't spotting them in the daylight instead?
That is why I always boiled my snares in lye. So thety wouldn't be spotted in full sunlight.
I've heard of people painting their snares white to make them harder to see and aside from possible paint smell issues that makes a lot of sense to me, but where I snared a dull finish was sufficient.

Keg, I boil my snares in baking soda and once I set them, they are completely invisible. The only way I can find them back is if coyotes get caught in them. Otherwise there would be no possible way to ever locate them again. It sounds like soda treatment must be similar to lye.
Snare refusals are a fallacy. A figment of every trappers imagination.
