Im using two 18" 3/8 rebar stakes. That drag stick system sounds like a good option and the areas where trees had fallen across the creek I could wire too. Thanks for every ones solutions so far I might have to try some and get creative. I just feel horrible about those two. You can make your own or buy some 3' or 6' snare extension cables. Works great Wire will break if a coon works it enough.

Dang never had anything pull crossed rebar stakes, ever. Coyotes, you name it. Single stakes yes. But never crossed stakes. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Are you sure it was coons? Might try going to some kind of Earth Anchor. Was the Trap and/or the stakes missing? If a coon pulled the stakes, it's running around with a steel bracelet.

I agree with the guys above that it is not likely that a Coon pulled cross staked rebar unless very soft mushy sand. If so, you should have noticed when driving. So probably some other issue. What is the bait? How and where did you recover the stakes? What type of traps? How long is the chain?
