Now, I'm NOT advocating breaking any laws, but crawfish are much better if they have purged themselves for a day or two!
Keep in mind that if you chose to keep them alive (say you are camping at the lake or whatever) they will drown if you keep them in a bucket or cooler of non aerated water. I have found that they last a couple hours in no water and only about 30 minutes in a bucket of water. We have a battery powered bait bubbler that will keep them alive overnight, then we change out the water a few times till they are all cleaned out...yum!
