I use rivets(j hooks) on mine with about 3 crunch proof swivels. I thought I saw that you were down by Montpelier, so if you're in the sage and mountain mahogany a sabertooth should be fine. I also use about 10' of chain.

Sabertooths are excellent drags and cats shouldn't go very far on a drag like that.I worry more about mountain lions climbing.You should have good drag trails to work with.I also use quick links-1/4",due to the presence of lions.I prefer a heavy clog or chaining around a tree,when I can't stake.

I been using some of those sabortooth drags on 10-12ft of chain the drag never even moves. Sometimes a foot or 2 lol.

Your gunna be doing a lot of looking in the trees. Not if he uses 5-6' of chain like me...AND pre-hooks to saplings or logs...then they are no more than head high and easy dispatch. They also leave their scent in the local area, attracting others.

Lazarus that's a fault of mine that I always have when going after any new animal I always way over think it. How do you guys bed your exposed cat traps and keep them working in the snow? Any tips on that would be greatly appreciated
