Best anchor?

What’s everyone using to anchor their traps? I couldn’t find anything useful at Home Depot to anchor a coyote trap.

I would buy some wolf fang anchors or something like that. You can also order rebar stakes designed specifically for trapping. I can’t think of anything you could buy at Home Depot without doing some modifications like welding, etc.

I like old snares to attach to trees or limbs. I also use a lot of two prong drags.

Wolf fang driver is like 12 or 14.00. Depends on the ground. I live in the Ozarks. Some places I cant get a wolf fang in. So I use rebar. May have to leave the rebar. But I can use it next time.

All of my traps are setup with drags and welded end to end. If I’m in a spot where I need to anchor the trap I pound a rebar stake down through the drag or quick link the chain to the stake. I have had too many earth anchors get pumped out, although I never lost one using wolf fangs. It’s easy to pull a single rebar stake most of the time with minimal tools. The only downsides to the way I do it are cost and weight, it’s easy to adapt to every situation though.
