yeah i guess i learned that the hard way lol. i set a few out today and this time i put them far off biking trails and paths. this is also the first night its been warm so it will be intresting to c what i get in the traps tomorrow. ill make sure to give u guys an update on that. o yeah and i also secured them to really big rocks just in case a coon or a coyote gets into one of them

well checked them today and still nothin. but hey at least they were still there

I use a heavy guage wire and tie them to my traps then tie the wire to a tree or downed limb. Haven't lost one yet, even after catching some pretty large coon.
