Let me know how that goes. I had a big boar drag a full block up a creak bank and out onto a flat picked bean field for everyone driving by to see. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I’d be temped to shove a 4’ fiberglass fence post through the hole and into the mud, just to keep it from being dragged where you can’t see it. That sounds like the best idea yet!

Well if you can drive a fiberglass fence pole Into the ground why not just use a rebar stake and forget about the cement block and the fence pole.
Here In southern WI i can take you out on miles of creeks that have NO trees along the banks. We have lots of creeks running through pasture land with no trees. But It's not very good coon ground.

I had a big coon pull a full 12" block I found on sight about 30 yards. . Indeed I had an otter get in a coon set and pull 4 10 lb blocks of steel nearly 80 yds. You’d be wise to go bigger Bigfoot.

I cannot remember all the details but I do remember reading a great article by Bob Noonan. If I recall correctly, Bob had a raccoon set in a small brook or spring run. I believe he fastened the trap to a cement block. The raccoon dragged the block onto a church lawn. I love drags, I really do. When ever I use one, that story is in the back of my mind. LOL
