My wolf fangs are free and truly disposable. But I do try and remove most of them If It's easy. I lay my tile spade flat on the ground make a wrap around the handle close to the shovel part and reef up on It. If It starts to come up I lower the shovel and choke up on the cable or chain and reef up on It again. If It doesn't pull out I cut the cable and leave.

Chained super stakes with retriever cable is best.
DRILL HOLES FIRST. It saves aching wrists.

Finned super stakes will hold an 18-wheeler...... now I'm not saying they are the best, cause they take forever to get out, but they will hold anything you catch!

Crossed rebar is only thing ive found i can retrieve here in late January when I'm done with coyote line. That said, I do like the lighter weight of bullets on cable when I'm walking that line due to crappy weather. For my coon sets, mostly 1.5s and DPs needing anchors, I use berk disposables. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I went with Super Stakes with chain two years ago and won't look back.

Trappergreen62 that is a great idea to keep cats out of trees. Also like the chewed up sobered on logs as attractors after a catch. Nice work. Jim

As a new trapper, these forums provide a plethora of knowledge. This past season, my first, I used Berkshires and Super Stakes (chain and Cable) in WV. Mostly rocky soils. I can honestly say that if you’re trapping from a machine (ATV, snowmobile, truck, etc) using a T-post puller from a farm store worked wonders. I only bent one Berkshire. The rest pulled with ease. About flipped my 4-wheeler end over end before I chickened out, lol. Hooked the winch to the super stake and the back tires got off the ground. I got to about 60 degrees and said nope, that one can stay! It’s still there and I add a trap and quick link and still catch a coyote and or bobcat in that spot every year. The pipe stays in the ground there as well. It about gnawed to the deck, but I just clean it out what’s still in the Earth and add bait.
