How do yall attach your Dog Proof traps to your feeder legs, trees, and rebar?

Please post pics

I use wire...

[duckmanep]

don't use any kind of snap on rings.

I use heavy gauge wire as well.

wire, but I wouldn't tie it to a tree or a fence. Leg of feeder works or stake

Any certain way to tie it or wrap the wire?

I use a 3' section of chain and a couple master links makes them easier to move around.

I have lost three traps using the easy links. I had them finger tight, and that wasn't tight enough. rookie mistake.

I went to HD, and had lengths of cable cut aoubt 3' long, then put grommet thingys on them to make a loop at each end. looped around the leg, and looped around through the chain. No more stolen.

First pic is of success.
Second pic of failure- a coon track pulling his new bracelet in the snow.
Attached a pdf of a sketch of what I did. Amateur, but you get the idea.

I use a wire.

Feed it through the trap swivel and around the fence post/feeder leg/tree. Go through the trap and around the tree two times. Cut the wire and then twist it tight with pliers

Kind of what I am thinking. Seems easier to move to new locations

A picture is worth a few words, lol

1/8 cable with links at each end.... use pliers to make sure they are tight..

Makes your sets highly versatile.

[BSOB]

Can you buy the cable like that with the links as sets, or do you have to clamp the links on yourself?

We use bailing wire.

I make all of mine myself , bought a roll of 1/8 cable, crimping pliers and I buy as many links and aluminum stops as I need.

Good thing is you can make them whatever length you need..

And well you can use the same tools and wire to make your own snares with a few other parts...
