[QUOTE="JhnDeereMan, post: 5219958, member: 21586"] Speedwell I’ll give you my two cents on cats for what it’s worth. Cats are not as rangey as coyotes. If you have seen a bobcat at a certain location then it’s a good place to set. Do not make your set like a coyote set. The trap needs to be 18-20” behind the dirt hole or in my case pipe with bait. If you set it 10” back you will miss a lot of cats. They go in to smell and their head is way out in front of their body trying to smell. It needs to be thick. I mean thick to catch a cat. Not where you set. But nearby. A farm road on the side of briar patch is a prime example. Duck wings with a little lure on it Hanging about 5-6’ above the trap area is dynamite. The duck wing needs to be visible from a long ways and have good motion in the wind. Don’t be afraid to set fairly close to a house. Bobcats range very close to houses. Lastly. Find a cat toilet. I know it sounds crazy but bobcats typically use the bathroom in the same area. Just like an house cat uses a litter box. This area is called a cat toilet and if you can find one it will be worth your while in trapping it. I do also recommend trying to trap out your coons, possums, and skunks with dog proofs a few months before you want to hit the cats hard. If you don’t do this. A lot of your specific bobcat sets will wind up with a small critter in them. [/QUOTE]
