 Re: Anyone interested in learning basic trapping?
OK, that makes sense. I have access to 3/8" rods that are several feet long. with a nut already attached to the top of them. they are smooth rods with theads at the other end. They are used to hold large wire spools together. I can have them cut to any size and have a point put on them. What size would be optimal for holding snares and traps for coons?
Also, I trap along the Platte River. What can I use to anchor slide wires in the river? The sand is very soft and I tried a standard size Berkshire Stake and I was able to easily pull it out of the soft sand. Previously, I have used 20-25 pounds of steel, but that gets old in a hurry carrying that stuff around! I was wondering if I used a 4 foot stake as described above? Could a coon work something that long out of the bottom of the river? Any other ideas? |
