What's the best system for drowning beavers when using footholds, when you can't carry in weight (very far from the road) and there are no rocks to use to fill a feed sack? Best options?

Do you have sand or dirt?

Just run a drowning wire. Cut your stakes on site so your not carrying In any stuff but your axe and your traps.

Long pole for a deepwater stake cut on site.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

wire run down a pole, so it acts like a drowning rod

Plastic feed sack with dirt or sand. I used it a lot without a problem.
