Is there a problem using 1/8 inch stainless steel cable for beaver drowning cables? My old cables really deteriorated badly, thinking stainless would be a better option. How about using them for Earth Anchors too?

Make sure you use copper ferrules on them.

Can you elaborate please? I’ve used aluminum on stainless and didn’t have a problem that I’m aware of.

Make sure stainless cable is legal in PA.

Newt likes stainless cable we did some trading on some I came across years back. Might be a salt water thing.

Not legal in Mo.

Why would stainless cable be illegal for beaver drowners or cable stakes?

There are no regulations that I know of regulating drowners or anchors.

When they get wet, you get galvanic corrosion. If you're using them in dry environment, you probably wont have issues.

Because if not pulled or get lost, they stay there forever, will not rust up and break down.

Stainless illegal for cable restraints. I use some s.s drowners .

If you boil your snares/cable to clean them, THEN wax them they last way longer. A Little Rally Hess tip right there!
