I would bring something large and heavy so the animal you are trying to trap cant move it and tie the chain to it

I got into that today. Lots of good locations but I couldnt get anything to hold. I have some disposable stakes i made outa metal conduit that are eight inchs long and they work great in those mucky bottoms but i left them at home. I even tried double stakes with 24" rebar and no way it was gonna hold a beaver. shane
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

A DRY wood stake will swell considerably when it is driven and be darned hard to pull.
Lt grey, tell me more about that U shaped drowner, I'm having a hard time getting my brain around it. Sounds like something I could find useful.
It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, but only 3 for a proper trigger squeeze.

The way i took it was both ends of the drowner cable was anchored to the same bank. It would hang in the middle of the cable cause it would have no tension past the middle to slide anymore. And use in current. My take anyway. ketchican, double stakes would not hold either. My creeks are dry with just a little water infront of dams. Mar up to your knees muddy. Only thing i could use today on that creek was log/drags for coon and mink, and driveing stakes thru old logs of dams to anchor snares. shane

I didnt get the boot stake though. Is the 4"x4" like a cap on the stake or welded to the side near the bottom like a fin (like the things on metal fence post)? shane
