So lets say I want to move a trap and I have hammered the chain down in hard red clay. I would imagine it would be difficult at times to pull the chain out of the ground. What do you do?
I use a 4' metal pry bar thru a cable eye and just pull em out.
Some folks use an auger bit on a drill down beside it.
Wolf Fang anchors pull easier than Super Stakes.
I have not set in clay, but I think I could still make my pry bar work...
Great idea thanks guysI drill a 2" hole down beside the cable to just past the Wolf Fang anchor and pull them with a homemade puller I made out of metal fence post. Easy peasy!!!
This is what I did. Now that I’m old with a bad back if I can ever get to where I can pound a coyote trap stake into the red clay again I’m gonna use cable and just cut it. Cable is cheap compared to doctor bills.I told you if you ask you will receive from this crew . I to use the super stakes with chain in red clay . I guarantee you don’t have to worry about a coyote pulling one up . I made me a puller out of about a 10ft piece of heavy duty steel pipe . Just welded about 6 links of chain with a hook to attach to trap chain. But still have to dig a little with post hole diggers or drill down beside chain
