It’s much easier to coil up the excess below the trap. With cable I’m having to drive it in outside the bed and stretch it across so the end doesn’t poke up. And yes, the South seems to be either clay or sand. I trap mainly clay. Load that cable so it coils up, works for me anyway. Ok, I’m man enough, what does that mean? I bought a roll of 1/8” cable to make some anchors for DP’s. Explain load please?

If you remember your mama or missus making the little curly bows with ribbon and the edge of a pair of scissors, same concept. Go to you tube look up meat trapper. He has some good videos on how to load snares.
