If he is going to make some I would be interested in a few dozen also. Tried a simular design and loved them.

S ince i started this post it appears that several are interested from the looks of the views Wondering if we can not see a picture of this item? If not maybe someone can explaiin how it is made as it sounds like it has been around for awhile. Must be some secret?

There are several variations to the snare support being talked about and.....at least some of them came out around the same time as these and are NOT knock offs of this product and are radically different in how they are made.
Shop around at the FTA convention, you'll find some high quality stuff available.

Back when Doug was still frequenting the forums, he had some good pics of it. Maybe he will come back.

Isn't a devils hatpin just a #9 wire welded to a rebar stake?

basicaly. I just twist my #9`s around my stake at the trap site and cut whatever length I need. the dhp is just more handy is the only benefit I can see. I`ve never had a problem keeping my wires up or from spinning etc with the stoneage method. but my attitude is I`d buy some from him anyway, just on principle.

(EDITED: Wileys comments on NTA can be seen in their entirity on the NTA board)
Never used a hat pin. Drill two holes in a railroad spike and weave a #9 wire through it. Damn near drive it into concrete so frozen ground is no problem but frozen ground can be a problem with lighter support rods. Stake seperately so the cable doesn't wrap up in the wire before the coyote expires. There is hundreds of decent ways to support a snare.

I`ll have to see if my dentist can drill some for me. I know that sob has been using the same drills on me. it`s pretty bad when you can smell your own bone burning and that whaaaahh whaaaah noise and smoke coming out of your mouth. if it weren`t for the well endowed young chick-a-dee assitant they all keep, I`d never go there again.

Thanks a lot fellows my questions are now all answered about this unit. I followed what edge had origionally posted about the 18 inch stake. I now know that the wire is tacked to the cold roll. Just have to get out and use them in the field. hope everyone gets good prices for fur. Cheers

Are they basically like what John Graham sells. Cold rolled steel with support wire wrapped around the top.

if it weren`t for the well endowed young chick-a-dee assitant they all keep, Bob ya need to go to My dentist. She's 4'11". Top heavy, and will litterally climb up in yo lap to work on your teeth. Won't never forget the first time. She kicked me back in the chair, climbed up in my lap, and I didnt know she had pulled a wisdom tooth till they told me I owed them $200.

my dentist is just like that too, but I swear he is a chimpanzee, one of those old grizzled ones all the time messing with himself like he has chiggers or something. even if he was a she , umm, no , wouldn`t want to go there.

Dang you guys are lucky. My Dentist is a 350 lb. black man and I sure as heck don't want him climbing on my lap. 350 lbs is being nice.
As far as snare supports, I guess I'm still in the stone age also. I use 9 guage wire, and tie it off to brush, a tree, or stick it in the ground. I catch fur, so don't see why I should change.
