Originally posted by ParkerBow: Indiana has the law of using relaxing locks so this is the reason they are not dead when I catch them.
Parkerbow, this is true but not true,
IC 14-22-6-6 Trapping; snares Sec. 6. (a) A person may not use a snare for the trapping of animals, except upon land owned by the user or with the written permission of the owner. (b) A snare that permits a circumference of more than fifteen (15) inches may not be used for the trapping of animals unless: (1) at least fifty percent (50%) of the loop of the snare is covered by water; or (2) the snare employs a relaxing snare lock. As added by P.L.1-1995, SEC.15. Amended by P.L.183-1995, SEC.1.
I think you miss read what the law actually is. h.h.
