Steeltraps, when you bed your trap do you drive anchor and bury the shock spring to the side of the trap? I always try to drive anchor and bed trap on top of the spring and chain and sometimes it’s a pain. From your pics looks like you have trap bedded away from where anchor and spring are, or am I wrong? Yes. Now that im 50 for last 3 or 4 years I pre prill holes. As in = I walk up to spot i want to make ser and run 1 inch = Wood boring drill down bout to 18 inch. Then drive Wolf Fang in pilot hole. Then set trap. In harder soil. WHY dig more than you have to ? Thats a problem often. Trying to get chain and swivels and shock spring under trap. So why do it??? I have been trapping coyotes for 35 years. And this was how I was taught. Even = James Lucero = Had no problems with the way I do it. He said = YOU pack that chain down well, to not be under the trap

Seen the cow rib in a pic above reminded me I was in a cattle field a couple weeks ago and ran across some bones and now I have one to try out. Look for = Widw and fat as you can get = in middle of bone. Round radius in center. IF the edges are not smooth. Take drimile tool and clean up edges. Will show next stop
