What is the cable for on the earth anchor?

@@flickster1559 It’s a retrieval cable. Pulls the anchor strait out of the hole. If you pull the chain only, it will be pulling it up in the set/locked position. Sideways.

Man Stu as a beginner in trapping your educational videos certainly are going to save me tons of mistakes that i would have made. Loved this one.

Man, I wish I had that table. Those are just great for cutting up deer on

Great Information & Instructional Video ! 🤗

Stu can you do a video on making your own coyote stretchers?

Thanks man

Soon as you said cross stake made me think of all the old trapping stories my step dad talked about thanks for sharing

I've been watching your channel for a long time!!! You provide lots of educational content about hunting, fishing, trapping, etc. Congratulations on passing 100k subscribers. I hope that you continue to climb the ladder in your KZread success. Keep up the great work!!!

Great video! Love you sharing your experience with us! Cutting time off of peoples learning curve is invaluable, knowing that information is coming from a trusted source of information.

Another great video chocked full of lots of info. Thanks Stu!

Thanks so much for all your time that you’ve invested sharing tips and methods with us, I was able to catch my first cat today it’s been two weeks of pulling my hair trying to find one in my area but I was able to locate one with the recent snow storm. And caught it this morning, I’m soo happy. I have watched so many of your videos and taken a lot from them, wanted to say thanks for your time.

Ive been watching your channel for a few months now and it’s my favorite on KZread. Im doing my trapper safety course right now. you really inspired me to get out there so hopefully I will be before the end of the season. Your videos are awesome keep it up!!

Thanks for another great one, Stu!

Thanks for the content. Really helpful information.

Stu once again Excellent video.

Hey brother, I appreciate what you do keep up the good work. Your channel is one of the most informative I have found on KZread.

You nailed it again man right on

Thank you for this. I sent a FB message asking why I’ve had two coyotes slip out of my 4 coiled MB-550’s. Pretty sure it’s because swivels got locked up with grass and brush. Lesson learned. I’ve been making dirt hole sets against high grassy brush. Going to keep them in the clear from now on.

nice job.

I almost exclusively run drags with 10' of double link. I do not bury the entire chain. I use a trench made with my digging part of the hammer about 2' to put the chain in. The rest is exposed on the ground. I hide it a little with a stick or leaves, grass. Than pound a steak in the ground at a 45⁰ point the direction I want it to go. He is tangled up in the direction 100% of the time. Never lost an animal in a drag yet.

Stakes are 2foot 5/16 smooth rod with a arroe head forged on the bottom and a 1/2 nut welded on top. One streight down and then 18 inch of 3/8 rerod at an angle. Hold any thing. Normally run 14 to 16 inches of chain. Swivels at trap and 1/2 way down trap. If I think there is a chance of a coin catch I run 20 to 24 inches of chain. Traps are back from hole about 6 inches. Coins will be caught by back foot. The shorter chain seems to end up with broken back legs where the longer chain does not. The traps I run are 3 Montgomery. I offset the jaws and laminate the jaws. They are center swivels and 4 coiled. They will hold any yotes that gets in them. I have cought yotes in anything from 1 1/2 could to 44 B&L. The 3 Montgomery works for me. Use what works for you.

Keep up the great work!! Can't wait to see some skinning videos, trapping videos. I've learned a lot of tricks from you.

Our stakes way back when were a metal rod with a triangle piece of steel welded to the end that went into the ground. And a heavy S hook on the end that you attached the trap chain with the use of a swivel.

Good info Good Video 👍

I like the fact you go for extra swivels & shock spring on the trap chain & setting the trap in a cleared area so the chain will not tangle but would add some suggestions to improve your system. Less escapes less animal injury and the ability to catch bigger animals in smaller traps so less cost to the trapper & less weight to carry if back packing the traps. In New Zealand all larger Leg Hold traps have been banned for use only size one still legal. But trappers have upped their catch rates with the chain having a shock spring & a swivel at each end of the chain as per your talk. But of the 3 main scientific reseach studies done in NZ two used 2 sizes of shock spring on the same chain (both short springs so no tangles with the animal leg or chain) Idea was it is a smoother stop than one stiffer or one lighter spring. One study got a zero damage to all animals trapped with these short two spring swiveled up chains! I Reffer you to a RESEARCH paper - AN EVALUATION OF WELFARE PERFORMANCE OF CHAIN SPRING MODIFICATIONS OF NUMBER ONE LEG HOLD TRAPS FOR CAPTURING POSSUMS..........Prepared for the New Zealand Fur Council by Land Care Reseach Christchurch NZ June 2019 Animal scientists Chris Niebuhr Senior Technician Grant Morriss edited for approved release by inasive animal manager Chris Jones......... Contract Report LC3511 Personal pre 1985 I used mostly size one & a half leg holds for NZ possum. On switching to a 2 swivel chai spring I was able to use mostly size one traps (now all size one by law) and I INCREASED my catch rate by 30% & decreased injury rate by 90%.

Got my T-shirt in the mail today 👍 I like to have enough chain to set my trap on my knee while standing up. I don't know if that is the best plan but I am setting up all my traps that way what say you. And a Pogo

Quick question what do you do after your done boarding the yote? Do you tan it?

Where I'm at if you're gonna stake or earth anchor, you need to get them in place before things freeze good, I have some that I staked in on long chains before freeze up, anything I set in the last month, and going forward, it's all drags. And anything that's been staked in before freeze up, isn't coming out until spring, you could use any of my 5/8"x30" rebar stakes as an anchor to winch out a side by side this time of year

short chain with double rebar workable? I feel they shouldn't be able to pump because there are two stakes that aren't vertical. thanks

i was wondering are you going to be putting on videos of your trapline this year

What’s that extra cable on your earth anchor for?

Only time I use rebar for k9 trapping is when I use a slide cable to get them away from the set

In Ct we can only have 6” of chain and it has to have a shock spring by law

Keep the video's coming. I have never heard or remember you talking about this, where or how do you dispose all the carcasses?

If i remember correctly, he said he uses the meat for dog food, when he had Rebel, or fertilizer.

I cought a coon in a creek bed on a 1 1/2 duke held to a tree with some snare wire and I had to much chain/wire and when I got to him the next day his foot was completely fractured none sticking out all hung up and wet in some roots and after that catch I'll never long chain again. I felt so bad. Just bc were gonna kill em doesn't mean they need to suffer untill then. I haven't moved up to coyotes but u bet they could pulll their whole foot off if given the ability to. Question though. So where I set up for that specific coon was a sand bar so I couldn't stake that's why I had so much wire. What would u do? Is the secret just adding swivles and actual chain ? Not using wire?

Are you short-changing buildings and long chains out in the timber. Because I don't want to look for my catch in a small place.

Are the hoodies made in the USA?

Ya know 🙄 Ya know 🙄 Ya know 🙄 Ya know 🙄 Ya know 🙄 Ya know

Not here friend in w.n.y. we keep shit short & make it cable!

Ps … short chain is all I ever use. Unless I use a drag. Than its 10ft long.

Wanna sell any traps? I live by goreville lol

I've always preferred a shorter chain for doggies. And lots of swivels. SWIVELS.....
