Buzzard bait

I would have needed more than 2 beers to set that trap

Good for you. I find it really helps with turkeys. I’ve gotten to where I enjoy trapping as much as hunting.

I have asked for and tried to get a trapping forum. Maybe if more get involved and trap there will be more interest in both trapping and a forum for it.

Please do not forget to get your trappers license and join the Georgia Trepper's Association.

So, what length stake do you use and how deep do you drive it in the ground? I cut about 24" rebar and drove them half way in. My concern is that the ground is very soft. Can a coon slide the chain up the stake and steal my trap?

I use wolf fangs.

I use wolf fangs.

Not familiar with that, but I am Google certified.

Google away. Great earth anchors. Only lost one trap in my days and was after a long wet period.

Anyone have any videos or sources for better hide tanning? I can’t seem to keep them soft. They get very rigid. Not good for making caps etc.

Have you tried brain tanning?

The old timers used to say, "God gave every animal just enough brains to tan its own hide."
I'm pretty sure there was a duality there...lol

Have you tried brain tanning?

Nope, Never tried. Are you speaking of using coon brains wouldn’t seem like enough material or are you talking going to the meat market & buying them(cow)?
