I just tripped all mine today but haven't pulled the stakes out of the ground yet as it was a decision I made on the spot and didn't have anything to do it with. All the dirt I bedded them in turned into thick mud or had partially washed away. One trap also has to be moved because I just can't stop catching yard dogs in it. I don't know why they travel the distance that they do to hit that trap but I'm 2 yard dogs in, 1 coyote in, and one raccoon in.

I think I'm gonna wait till after turkey season to put any back down as I don't want to spook turkeys off fields needlessly checking traps.
