what length of rebar trap stakes would u use for coons for trapping in sandy soil?

alot easier to use disposable. but if you use rebar i would cross stake. aleast 2 foot

24in for the most part but depends on the soil, cross stake in soft ground.

i made some stakes for sany places during preaseason and since i like to overkill things, mine are 36"

what bout 30 in.

what type of soil do you have in your part of louisiana

24in. here never had one pull up or even move it any. but then again our ground is clay here kinda hard

i was wondering if his was clay also. I live in louisiana and have clay.

Sandy soil I use 30-36"

I wouldn't use rebar....I've got sandy soil and I use cables, rather than stake them I loope them around small trees or sizable piecs of drift wood. Fast, easy, can reuse the cables and I haven't had a pull out or lost a coon or trap yet.

that is a good idea also

im trapping in sand

i would get cable stakes or long rebar

I agree with Wheelers.

bout 34"

22-26"

Use wooden stakes, they hold better than rebar and are free. See my free trap stakes post on the kids forum here.

I Don't!

Who would? LOL

I agree w/adc, why waste rebar on coon,save them for the yotes and cats. Double staking 30+ inch rebar for coon, that seems like a little bit of overkill, if you got that much rebar laying around and it makes you feel better, go ahead but wood stakes are cheaper and alot easier to deal with. I go through my areas in the spring and cut a bunch of maple saplings about 30in. and leave them stuck up in trees along the cricks where I Know Ill be setting in the fall.
