bobcat sets

[PCP_ECOM]

hello all,wanted to tap the resources of some of the accomplished cat trapper's on this thread,was gonna try and use milk crate as my cubby has anyone used this before and what kinda results did you get,ill be hanging wings as attractor's and beaver for bait as well as a little nip,any help would be appreciated,thanks Peter

Probably half of my lynx sets are in crates, as long as I don't run out of them. I have as many catches there as with cubbies. Other factors of course are involved and maybe where I set in crates there is more sign...???

where do you get your milk crates? just ask at the grocery store?

[sourdough doug]

I'm a scrounger, like most trappers..haha
I have also found them at bottle recycling depots, where they have been left by customers and in most cases the proprietors will give them away.
Ask and you may receive..

Only trapped 2 bobs Peter , one was in a snare on a trail .. other was a leghold set under a pheasant wing swinging in the breeze . Good luck , they could bring a good paycheck .

well thanks for info guys tomorrow I will set up the crate cubbies and ill hang snares around perimeter of course as cats tend to circle and may connect on more than one,will let you know how it goes and post pictures of set when made,cheers

Good luck! You've got me dreaming about a trapping road trip one day. It's probably one of those things that will never happen but it'd be fun to spend a bunch of time specifically targeting cats. Is there a good population of bobcat in southern Alberta or is it more spotty? I've never heard of anyone catching big numbers of bobcat in Alberta. Lynx is on my bucket list as well but bobcat wouldn't require having a Rfma. There is no bobcat season in my area.

Well did a check on Tuesday of this week and my feline friend had not returned,today I ran the west gear again and YAHHHHOOOO 2 days later and this beautiful tom came back and committed to my milk crate baited with beaver and guarded with 330 Belise.Took little over 2 weeks to make his return

[shakeyleg02]

Looks like a beauty Peter congrats on the kitty

[rcmc]

Very special catch there, congrats on the Bbob

[Tfng]

Awesome! Congrats on getting him and thanks for the pics.

Did you happen to take a before pic of the set?

[norma mag]

Very nice! Thanks for posting.

Question, a fella when I was in Saskatchewan would mix catnip and Vaseline together smear it on tree limbs etc around a leg trap as an attractant with a partridge wing dangling above. Does anyone use this type of set up?

To the OP what do you put I the milk crate?

if you look in top right corner of second pic there is a snow goose wing hanging and I had cat lure on it,there is chunk of beaver meat in the back

[PCP_ECOM]

took between 20-23 days for success to happen,could of been same cat hard to say Tom's have larger range then females and maybe he got buddies still got whole month to find out

[nube]

Well done. I would get a full mount on that sucker!!!

[drake]

Wahoo! We were all rooting for you! Thanks for taking us a long for the ride!!

Don't go out of your way Peter. I was just trying to get an idea of how much of that blocking was natural and if you disguised the squareness of the front of the milk crate at all.
