Use them on MB 750 approx. 10" from trap for extra weight, mink traps and on 160's with bottom edge sets.

Exactly what I do too. I also have gone 100% to the 750's for my foothold choice.

This is a hammer used in a machine used to crush manufacturing waste into sizes that can be used in construction The machine has a set of these . About 30 are replaced every so often They can be refurbished one or two times At some point they are thrown out .So the company uses about 3 sets per year .Each one weights about 20 lbs .The are free to me anytime I want some . As long as you can drive with a 4 wheeler or truck they make great anchors or drowning weights .But I need to turn back the clock about 40 year to be carrying them to set locations . [Linked Image]

anyone ever used a square of chicken wire as a basket toss a few rocks in then gather up the corners and wire it shut as a fast easy light to carry way to use any rock larger than the hole size of the chicken wire mesh.

I guess onion sacks could be even lighter and faster

the chicken wire would last longer , maybe could be stashed from season to season with the rocks in it top wired shut.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Gunny sacks work well for filling with rocks also.

I used to use them, and have a bunch, but now I use rr tie plates. Wish I had picked up a truck load when I had a chance.
