DK-1 Trap Stake Tech.

You certainly have made a science out of using this trap and your findings will definitely help others be more successful in their trapping endeavors. It would be interesting to set 100 traps without any modifications and compare the catch rate with modifications. Maybe someone with more gophers than you have will be willing to make this scientific test. It would make a great science or 4-H project for a rural youth. Keep up the good work and it was fun to see how and where you make your videos.

Thank you for a really good and informative video and sharing your knowledge with us. How would tethering the DK1 trap to a stout cord or similar and then to the flag stake work?

The only thing that should move is the trigger, the trap stake holds the trap secure, preventing the gopher from being spooked, Saw a bunch of nearly new DK1's on eBay with chains attached, I am guessing--Poor catch rate
