Make some earth anchors…make’em 12-15” and drive about 8” in the ground for DP’s. Coons ain’t pulling it up. In wet areas where you can push it in and pull it by hand, then all the way down (12-15”). They ain’t pulling those up either. I started with those, quickly changed to rebar. Those are too hard to pull out of our ground and I move DP's a lot. Rarely do I leave one set over 3-4 days before I pull and move.

3-4 days? You catch them all in that time? No, but I've caught the cream off the top by then, I'll move them to more productive locations. I'll recheck some of those locations for fresh sign later in season and reset, but 6-8 coons per location gets the majority of them.

They ain’t pulling those up either. I use earth anchors on mine too, but you sure don't want to leave them if you can pull them by hand or coon can and will pull them. But we have a bigger coon than you do.

I want to know where in MO you are not hitting rock…must be up north Pike, and Lincoln county. Silt loam that turns to quick sand during winter months. Only rock is usually something Indians brought in. What part of MO you reside?
