I've seen people use chunks of green saplings for anchors in mud....but I wouldn't.

Pogos or anchors made of conduit are plenty cheap. Wire can be used for anchoring, but 14 gauge sound way too light.

I would not use PVC pipe....personally.

11 Gauge.....sure, for water trapping. For land use cable.

On water sets for your little La. coons I'll bet 1/2" or 3/4" PVC cut 2-3" long with 14 ga wire would work just fine. Put the wire through a hole in the center and drive it in on a driver made to fit just inside the pipe.

No need for angles on the end in the mud harzog, IMO.

We're known for tiny coon here in Eastern NC too....but I also shipped a bunch of XXXXL coon last year.

I can't imagine that Louisiana is much different.

Just because you set for coon....doesn't mean you'll catch coon either. I've also taken otter and beaver in coon sets, on occassion.

There is no way on God's green earth I'd EVER set a trap in the above fashion with 14 Gauge wire.

If you could drive it in without it splitting or breaking, I'm sure it would work just fine. Not even a coyote would pull a cable out of a schedule 40 pipe, and the pipe itself isn't going to come out of the ground any easier than conduit would. Problem I see is if it splits or breaks below ground level, you might not know it until the cable is worked back and forth for awhile, and then it might come out.

Pogo all the way....I caught 3 beaver, one otter, and two coyote in coon sets this year and had no pullouts with pogos on 18" of 3/32. Works for me and is cheap alternative to rebar, berks or other earth anchors. I tried the conduit anchors, and they work great, but I can make the pogos for the close to the same money and have a better anchor in the end.

i wouldnt use it, if a stake can be humanly pulled out at an angle, i wont use it even on coon lines, b/c the fact i have lost a few traps like that do to catching cats and yotes, but last time i heard, both were cats, and were shot and the guys returned my traps! lol
