How do I secure the T-posts in soft, muddy, or wet ground?

When you are setting your trap in soft ground, consider using brackets to prevent the T-post from sinking and thus compromising the integrity of your trap set up. 

1) lay down some straw 

2) use a T-post bracket 

3) if the T-post bracket sinks, then use a board and T-post mount
