Predator Trapping - Staking Options

- Опубликовано: 10 янв 2015
- Staking your traps is critical, without the proper anchoring, you won't hold your catch. There are a variety of different options, from rebar to cable stakes and earth anchors. I like earth anchors of some sort, they are alot smaller and lighter than rebar, and I can attach them to the traps ahead of time. Regardless of what you use, just be sure you use something that is large enough to hold whatever animal you are targeting.

I just wanted to say thank you. I am new to trapping and I fell into the trap (pun intended) of just purchasing a bunch of traps as I go "Thinking I am all set and ready to go come trapping season." Then when it gets hear I start wondering how am I going to anchor these traps so they do not run off with my trap. Next thing I know I am struggling to decide what method I want to use, then of course, not one single store carries any anchors. Now I have to order on line and wait of pieces and parts to come in. Now I am way behind the 8 ball, and prime time is past. I wish all the pro trappers that put out videos would have said what you did. And because I am new and want to understand what I am doing I had to delay in order parts, etc. to make sure I had the correct tools for the job. IE: Cable thickness, ferrells, swivels, etc. etc. I wish the stores would take note. If you want to promote the trapping sport to the younger person, and just have traps at the store and send them on their way, they will not do it very long. Not one store in my area has proper anchors, but they sure do sell traps. Hardware stores do not carry the proper cable wire, and no ferrels, locks, swivels, etc. at the same store. I could go on but as you can see the frustration I am feeling now. You are spot on. Love your videos and very educational. The hard work you put into making them shows in the quality of your work. Peace, Mo
Ok thank you very much! Love your videos!
How far do you drive the anchor into the ground. I'm in Kentucky it is the same ground as middle Tennessee where I grew up trapping.
Looking for a vid on putting the stakes in the ground.
50 years ago the most popular stake was a 3/8 steel rod with a broad head welded on the bottom. It was about 16 inches long and, if I remember correctly, it had an s-hook acting as a swivel. In 20 years of trapping the Adirondacks, I never lost one???
Do you have a website where we can email you? Getting started and will have a lot of questions and coyotes.
What are your thoughts on using a cable with a loop on the end for your dogproofs? And just putting the trap through the loop around the base of a tree? Thinking about trying that this season
How much time do you give your set to catch a coyote before relocating?
Is a deflector rod necessary on a drag?
So can i use rebar stakes for coyote traping?
Will a stake and a short chain be expected to hold a coyote
I never understood how those cable stakes work
TREES! Don't forget at times there's a pretty strong tree you can put though the loop and anchor it
