i have lost two traps in the past two weeks in the same hole trapping for rats...it is a above hole set...i have lost a foothold becasue the chain broke...and last night my body grip went missing...the stake was still in the ground but the whole trap was missing? what animal could drag away a body trap???
you said the stake was still in the ground. I assume you mean the chain was held by the stake right? so if the stake was still in the ground, and a the chain on the body trap wasn't broken too, then wouldn't somebody have to pull the stake, take the trap, then jam the stake back down? an animal couldn't do that no matter how big or smart. to actually pull the trap and replace the stake? ive lost a ton of traps both to people and animals. but never like that. keep us posted if ya figure anything out. good luck
