I've gone to all disposable anchors for my DP's. I just leave them in the ground and when I pull traps, I tie a piece of flagging tape around the loop so I can find it and use it again. I'm trapping primarily at feeders after deer season. I put the anchors where the coon can't grab ahold of a tree or my feeder or anything to give it any leverage. I haven't lost one since I started doing it that way.
