Fishers, anchor or drag? #6388425 12/02/18 05:42 PM 12/02/18 05:42 PM

When I set them should I anchor them solid or can I use drags? I would rather use drags, but I don't want to have to knock it out of a tree if I get one. Thanks

BCTomCat do you get about equal amounts of both males and females on your running pole sets? Yes The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
