i noticed your "t" rebar was welded at the top... if you weld your "t" about 3/4 of an inch from the top of the stake you can drive them w/a hammer and don't have to worry about busting the short piece of rebar off.....learn that by trial and error.......haha thats a slick idea tho'
take me to where the blacktop ends.. then go further with me

Good thinking. Have a finished set pic and maybe some trap placement info? Ya know I'd bet you could sell those things.

I saw some similar on ebay last year. Only they had a short piece of steel pipe where the PVC is on yours.
I agree with TexA's theories.

I don't have any action shoots, I just got my camera. I olny made up a hand full this year I wanted to see how they would work and work out the kinks. I had no problems with the coon twisting out in them and I used them in spots where there was nothing for a coon to grab so they couldn't pump the stake up. I used them on mud bars, feeder springs/sreams, at calverts, and pond edges. I caught about 20 coon with only 6 of them in a week. Thanx for the input on the problem you guys see.

Not saying It won't work but It seems like a lot of work when you can just jam a chunk of PVC in the ground and stake your trap. But us trappers like to tinker. But I"m a beliver In the KISS method.

I like it. It would be easier to pound a rebar stake in hard ground than it would a piece of pvc.
Check the archives, it's probably there!

Ever had a problem with someone stealing them by the culverts and bridges?

looks like you could use the rebar as one end of a drowner, kind of like bringing in your own pocket, instead of digging one.
