[QUOTE="Shanman, post: 5276320, member: 4101"] Just my thoughts on your set....... 1 trap is enough with cats, use the 2nd trap to make another set and up your odds. By leaving the set "unblended" you gave them a nice clean place to step, cats love that. 👍 I personally would add some larger sticks to the set in a V formation, dirt hole being in the point of the V. You can use guide sticks heavily around your trap just nothing large enough for them to step on. As WLF mentioned above, block the back side of the set. As far as visual attractors go, part of a wing suspended 4' - 5' above the set will grab their attention from a distance. Scatter feathers around the set as if a bird was caught, those inner down feathers have more movement and eye appeal than say wing feathers. Cats are simple to trap, you just need to be on location. For me personally, I wouldn't make a cat set without Dobbins' Purfect. Great Grey Fox lure too by the way. [/QUOTE]
