This is my first year trapping and i bought some 18 in re bar for my 1 1/2 Oneida victor traps. I've heard of coyotes pulling up re bar and i was wondering if any people have ever had this happen to you with foxes fishers or raccoons. And if what would happen if you caught a coyote in a 1 1/2 victor, would it pull out of the trap?

its a 50/50 chance i do not take that chance sence i do not want my information on the animal when the trap and animal are found ! rebar is ok for coon and some grey in the bush or creek banks but for k9 out in the fields i would say NO bad idea . i use rebar alot because of they are easy to get back out of the ground . cable stakes are great i use them when needed. cross stake you rerod and you will sleep better at night knowing your trap will be there in the morning .

The 1 1/2 is not a great choice for yotes, but they can hold a yote if its a well made trap. Don't recommend rebar stakes for coyote unless you cross stake them. Far better off with cable stakes for any coyote trapping. A fox or coon pulls sideways against the trap stake, a coyote pumps the stake, they tend to try to jump out of the set which pumps the stake. Thats why rebar (especially one) is not a good idea.

i read coyotes can pull 400 pounds so you need something very secure. i use the cables were you hammer it down and it stays straight but when a animal pulls up a metal bar lays flat forming a T. also called disposables.
