Snare refusals are a fallacy. A figment of every trappers imagination.
There must have been a sarcastic moon last night, I was effected by it as well.

Invisible maybe, but I know that you know where all your snares are and gather them all up at the end of the season.

Keg, WRT boiling in lye......I'm guessing that breathing in the fumes from the steam wouldn't be very healthy. I don't think that it'd be my first choice but if that's all that's available like you said......
