I found this to be the easiest way to set the dog proof raccoon traps, you do not have to drag along heavy re-bar stakes or any earth anchors,drivers,or hammers. They are extremely cheap to make for about $20.00 you can make enough of these anchoring systems to do 50 dog proof raccoon traps. Check out the video and hopefully this will help you lighten your load and cutting you setting time in half plus save some money.

You could use a vicegrip plyers to crimp the fellals, and cut the cable.

Cool video.
