I heard boiling in baking soda is bad, should new snares be painted or just use as is ?

Dale just put a video out today on that very subject.

Thanks! But the vid don't go when click on it

I look it up an got video

Many years ago I started out boiling my snares in baking soda and non chlorine treated water and continue doing so without any problems and no signs of rusting out or broken snares ,without posting it on a YouTube channel ,

I and many others have successfully done this for many years however if you feel the need get after it , we also don't load our snares other than,putting them in the back of whatever vehicle were driving out to our snare lines and still manage to catch plenty of whatever target animal were after .

IIf you feel the need to spend money that you don't need to on some chemicals to dip you're snares in feel free to do so . I'd rather keep the money that a can of dip costs in my pocket and use a relatively cheap and easy bath with baking soda and water for my snares .

I guess the site is still being cleaned up, the first page of posts is gone…….
Al Miner summed it up well though.
