Came out with there version recently which I haven't heard alot of good or bad about but looking at pics their kinda flimsy. 5th. Wolf Creek came out with their super fangs last year ( I think) and their supposed to be much wider and thicker. The wolf Creek ones are supposed to be the best that you can get easily followed by the freedom brand

The season I never marketed them was that my buddy makes them for me and I get them for nothing, so the deal was I wouldn't sell them. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

There was no one using rebar in their vice grips of their skinning machines (everyone used the sheet metal grips) before I showed it on here. Now, not only are guys selling almost exact copies of my original skinning machine design (and others taking credit for them on youtube and the like) but I see a guy who's well known on here for trap mods making a copy of my roller style skinner too. Just the way it goes. ~ADC~

Said he would make me another one if I sent him the exact dimensions, Lol. Member - FTA

I believe there were 3 thicknesses,standard,heavy duty and magnum.All were about 50% wider and longer than the Wolf Fangs and they were called Dirt Dog Anchors.I got 100 of the magnums and the supply seemed to dry up after that. PCS Outdoors listed them for awhile but only in standard and heavy duty.Now,I see the standard and heavy duty are listed by northerntrapping.com,but out of stock.They are good but almost overkill for here.The magnums hold up well but I get a couple bent ones each season but they are easy to straighten out.They easily take 1/8" cable.

What dealers sell yours since I will be buying more at NY. With my shaly soil I prefer 1/8" cable over 7/32 cable.

They don't bend on me and i have broke #3 chain trying to pull them. I use supers for water and regulars for dirt with chain only moving forward. weld my s hooks and they are solid. In the past i have used other brands and some have bent and some were fine. Owner Wind River Trapping Supplies

I always face my anchors (flat side) north and south and when I'm pulling I take a 1 1/2 auger and drill down about 15 inches on the flat side of the anchor and the pull out no problem. I don't like putting undo stress on my equipment. Not to mention for me this is just easier, drill will just go right through frozen ground.
