Have you ever lost a trap to a coyote?

I had a 2 foot stake driven in the ground 3/4 of the way in. (I hit solid rock) Hd squirrel as bait and came back the next afternoon. I think it was coyote tracks but can't be sure. No stake, traps, no nothing. What happened?

Not really. I mean where the trap was and a circle around(about a foot diameter) the where the trap was.

No. Rule of thumb is to anchor for an elephant.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Yupper, I was 15 at the time,,, I had a #3 dbl long that I blended on perfectly in a blind trail set,,,, everything was perfect,,, except my staking method,,, I drove a stake through the metal ring and pounded it in the ground.. i didn’t know about cross staking and proper swiveling then
