Default Re: Anyone interested in learning basic trapping?

You can use a 2 foot stake on the bank end and a 3 or 4 foot on the drowner end. They may work a little out, but normally they succumb to hypothermia very quick and will be waiting for you in the morning. I have the same sand problem you do. Angle your stake slightly away from the bank, so if the drown lock fails the coon does not get a straight pull on the bottom stake just the opposite on the up end. Tom
