looks like fun :tup: Do you prefer using live traps over foot holds for bobcats?

       I took a trapping trip to Texas this winter I trapped lots of different animals I trapped and shot 208 pigs I did get a little time in with my cages I like cages when I trap bobcats and foxes because I don't catch a lot of none target animals I use a flagging with a lead in scent and a small stuffed animal in the back of the cage .using a cage trap lets you trap close to ranch barns and feed lots if you catch a ranch dog or cat you can just let it go.

Wow! you trapped a family of hogs. They pretty easy to trap? what do you use for bait on them? The wild ones taste the same as farm hogs?

hogs are really smart you get one chance to trap them if you don't get them all in the trap the first time the ones that got away will more than likely never go in a trap again . You bait with corn, all the hogs I took were eating wheat and corn they graze the wheat fields just like cows.  wild hogs taste just like farm hogs only don't have as much fat on then all the time . I butchered mostly  80 to 100 ponders to eat but I did kill a big barr hog that weighted 250 pounds and he was really good I had a lot of breakfast sausage made in a germen town I use a meat band saw to cut up the pigs for chops and roasts and hams and then bone out everything for sausage that way its cheap to have sausage made I brought home a freezer full of pork

I have GOT to get down to texas, pig hunting has been on my short list for a while! Was this DIY or did you have friends down that there needed the population control?

Do you have a website with cages for sale?  Also, whats your favorite size for bobcat, fox, coon, and even porcupines?  Also, ever caught a coyote in a live trap?
