From most of the pics I see with catches, I cant help but notice the length of some of those chains. Maybe Im doing it all wrong, but I cable stake about 18 inches down and only have about 5 inches of chain

Personal preference for some....but if you're using rebar instead of cable stakes, you need long chains to help alleviate stake pumping by coyotes.

i use both cable stakes and rebar stakes and i like all my chains short also... but i also cross stake with the rebar when i use them so no worries about coyotes pumping out. i guess whatever you like

The longer chains keep the coyote from pulling up on the stake or anchor. This forces them to pull to the sides. Harder to pull a stake or anchor out sideways.

no your not dumb just learning the animals will teach a you a lot when you watch as you pull up to a sight & they get excited how they pump up & down with short chains & they run around in circles more with the longer set ups,
