Index of Subjects Hi Roland, Thanks for the info. the wire was covered with a plastic/vinyl covering and looked quite thick to be a snare, ( I snared in my youth,) It looked to be an industrial type of wire, though my brother in law was musing if someone didi it to the bird and then dumped it on the side of the road. It was on a farm property, so I was guessing that it just stuck it's neck in the wrong place. We gave it a proper burial at sea, so the mystery remains fo rnow. cheers, Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland McCormick" <roland.mccormick@ns.sympatico.ca> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 11:42:25 -0300 Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Dead Barred Owl > Hello Gary - > I have seen partridge, pheasant and cats caught in rabbit snares.
