Also how long of a chain are you running? ebsurveyor, are your MB550s four coiled? Thanks for sharing Mac I'll have to check, Mac. I have some of both and I don't remember what that one is. The MB Super Stakes are buried about eighteen inches in the ground and I have sixteen inches of chain on most of my traps. None of the J-hooks are welded. That's got to be a three hundred and fifty pound bear. Last edited by Posco; 11/24/19 04:51 PM.

Had one mess with this box a few days ago, also had one take the box and leave the trap (un-sprung) wired to a tree.
