Once my Wife & I were visiting her father in Southern IL. We had gone down to the Ohio River where he trot lined. On one of the runnings of a line, a hook came up with a Condum hanging on it. As he shook it off he commented: "I didn't know Catfish used these".
On one rabbit hunt, my Father & I were on, not far from home, we found a Whole Passel of old abandoned Moonshine Still sights. Pretty sure I knew the man who had Fired them, but by that time he was either disabled or deceased, forget for sure which. Even if I were a drinker, I would have been tee-totally afraid to touch a thing he had made. Not that I think he did anything intentionally to hurt anyone, he drank the stuff himself, but highly suspect he used old radiators etc for distilling. His shine no doubt was loaded with lead.
