May have asked before, but why bury the drag? Thought the whole purpose of the drag was not to have to dig. If I can dig I’ll put in an earth anchor. OK Wannabe. Land manager ask or told us = Family wants to see 0 coyotes bouncing on roads ! So everything is drags. I have Blue Lacey dog with me now. So no worries on = finding the animal quickly. Plus. Last trapper. Was well know. He basically retired. I will say this = HE DID A GREAT job clean up coyotes!!!! So time ? Its not a factor so why not bury???? The = Hook to the tree or bush ? Well thats not for me . Educated coyotes. So we ONLY make clean Flat Sets. And drags ? Long term ? Once you get over = price shock of new? The they will last forever. Its like a = investment. No more cable stakes or bullet stakes. Just bury them drags and 8 or 10 ft chain!!! LoL!

Are you just using the cow rib to blend or are you sifting some over the pattern too? Anyhow, it's a nice, blended set. Silky. I am using = Cows rib. To press down the = little rocks. And break up the dirt clod pebbles. Then I = duff with wisk broom or hand Ever thought to use a cordless leaf blower just before leaving the set? Just an Alaskan, lots of time for overthinking… Not much time in the day or tide to practice.

Mad Mike. I know a very good. Well known. Trapoer that uses a = 20 volt battery operated leaf blower! He says. It works great. I just use. Dollar General broom. Cut down. Short I overthink things, at times, but tend to slash and cut down to much simpler. Nice looking country. I like the hills and the greenery.

That’s the only reason I got a dozen made up, for that Summer time clay trapping.
