Koohii stories:
1) [volfy] 4-4-2006(159): This snare isn't terribly effective, because it's swinging from a decaying tree. Imagine the tree as being so decayed that when an animal gets caught in the snare, its struggles cause the tree to collapse into a putrid mess.
2) [dihutenosa] 14-9-2007(74): [+air,charley] Trigger: decaying remains. You walk by a tree and see the decaying remains of what looks like a dead human (? hard to tell, it's been years), still trapped in a bear trap. Turns out that the tree itself set them out. All of its comrades were getting chopped down, so it puts out bear traps to ensnare would-be choppers and lets them simply decay, and uses their remains as nutrients.
3) [richcoop] 3-7-2009(56): 枯 wither The decay of an animal in the TREE was from something caught in a SNARE.
4) [Floatingweed5] 8-10-2007(30): Don't use wooden snares because, as the woodsman says, "They're prone to decay, and the catch gets away".
5) [CharleyGarrett] 10-7-2006(24): Tree doesn't like getting chopped. To protect himself, he's set up a snare beside him. If anybody comes to chop him down, they'll get ensnared, and he'll just let them decay into nutrients that Tree will consume.
