What’s would be a good earth anchor for big cats or wolves? The Finned super stake?

I've caught and held wolves with chained super stakes with no problems.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I need an 8’ lever to pull up super stakes, and that’s pulling straight up, which an animal can’t do. No wolf or cat is pulling one that is properly anchored.

12” wolf fangs work in my country. I’ve never lost a lion due to the anchor (knock on wood).

Beautiful cats!

Use chain wolf fang anchors on my coyote traps ... haven't had a pesky wolf walk off with a trap yet. Always a joy to release, not!

But when we had a wolf season, my wolf traps all wear chained super stakes with (4) wolf swivels and shock springs.

The hardest thing I have pulled up is a wolf fang

Pretty sure I could drive one in the ground and winch my Honda 500 out of a pit laugh
And probably get my little Toyota unstuck too

Though I have no experience with lions, I can tell you that chained super stakes will hold anything that can fit its paw or toes in a trap on a 24 hour check. I have had a few failures while pulling either breaking the chain or breaking the little loop connection on the actual stake. Currently in the process of changing to stronger chain just to have a little more peace of mind. Some have taken a real beating.
