I just ordered a dozen K9 traps to attempt coyote/bobcat removal. Will the earth anchors be enough to hold the trap? I have always used either drags or rebar on fox and coons.
I have never trapped a coyote so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in Pettis County and use 2" fender washer anchors for my cable restraints. Never had any problem holding 'yotes.
I have had to move a few feet or yards to get to where I can sink my anchors properly.
Make an anchor puller to save you're back and don't plan on pulling them when the ground is froze.
If you're going to set the anchors and leave them in place year after year, use stainless cable and mark the loops very well with surveyor's ribbon... they can be hard to find a few months later.
