I use a lot of steel stakes over the course of a season, including in wooded areas where a guy has tree tie options, reason being, I want my anchor to be in the right spot to minimize/eliminate brush interference with my system of snare plus killing spring and trigger.
I say that cuz there’s so much misinformation floating around about how I do this or that, or what “my county” is like around here… I do get around if you know what I’m saying??? And I’m not stuck to doing things one way, I just have certain rules that I don’t break to maximize the carotid kill that our anti frenz want to pretend doesn’t happen… will they lie? Will they slander? Will they libel???
Anyways, with steel stakes, ya soft ground in the fall and early winter can be a problem for staking so yes, disposables are the answer.
The Berkshire soft ground anchor is a good choice in mud, sand, loose ground. Long and wide holds a little more, I have used these stakes in beach sand with traps after trying to double and triple stake with Iowa Disposables and being able to yank the set by hand.
But in normal unfrozen ground where staking with steel stakes is questionable, normal disposables are great. Even on frozen ground, use disposables if an animal has the ability to pull straight up, should it break a steel stake loose.
Hook up is simple. I do believe that I came up with the swivelled extension concept and the continent embraced the concept due to the videos that I put out. Apply the same principle/system to the disposable stake. Cable off the stake with a medium small loop and DF, then your cable lead, which will stick out of the ground, with a heavy duty #9 wire snare swivel, and with a sizeable end loop on your snare you can easily tie your snare onto the disposable. If you don’t know how, pass the end loop of your snare or extension thru the swivel, then run snare or extension swivel thru end loop and tighten up the cable and let the loop end flip over and you are tied, and with perfect swivel function…. With option to untie!
