Those type are called Iowa Disposable the late Ron Hansen Jr. was the man behind the whole concept. If you going to be making them cut the stake on an angle. Then when you make the driver make you holding part even. Drive the ID in then hit the driver on the side, pull it out. Here's where many make the mistake, don't pull it up, pull it even with the ground the anchor it. I make some up with Stainless Steel cable and leave them in the ground for next year. The idea was it can't harm farm equipment and less wieght to carry. Ron was a very good fox trapper and one of the best coon snaremen around. He also came up with the Kill Pole idea also.

 

Here's Ron back in Montana in 1985

He was also a good gardener growing the largest pupkin in Iowa 3 years in a row.

 

 

Ron did alot in the line of modified traps also, he taught Mike "Red" O'hern all about coon trapping and took him under his wing. Ron had an anurisum in the middle of know where in Iowa with Mike. Mike revived him back and gave him 18 more months of life. Truly a remarkable story told by Red, he couldn't trap anymore after that but was stil a fur buyer and cock fighter to his last living day.
