Here's the actual cat.

[billythekidrock]

Right on. I hope to get started this year.

[Gutpile]

Very cool. How do you dispatch them? A .22? What do you bait them with I've heard chickens, is that true?

[Kain]

Man those are pretty.  You guys gonna let us know when the next trapping class is coming?  I really want to learn more about it.

[trapperguy22]

Gutpile
I used a 22. I did not use any bait just a long distance call lure outside the trap, a food lure on a stick in the back of the trap, a bird wing hanging in the back of the trap and a few feathers on the floor of the trap. If you use feathers or a wing make sure the trap is covered up good so the feathers can not be seen from above(sight exposed bait).

[rasbo]

[NW-Eric]

[TeacherMan]

What are the dimensions of your trap? I feel like my traps are to small.

[saylean]

pretty cat man. very cool~!

[trapperguy22]

 The size of the trap is 12x18x36 from what I have read and learnered the width doesn't matter that much but you want it to be at least 18 inches high. But I hear of a lot of cats getting caught in smaller traps every year. I also really like to gillatine style door on these traps.

I have heard that bobcats can't resist urinating on coyote sh*t and therefore you can use coyote sh*t as bait. It sounds completely far fetched to me, but I was curious if anyone else had heard this.

[dbllunger]

Nice

[Michelle_Nelson]

   Very nice Kitty.  I hope to catch atleast 1 this year.

[Big10gauge]

Where would someone locate bobcat urine?

The thought that first came to mind doesn't really seem feasable, so their must be an easier way. Maybe it's one of those "hold my beer and watch this" things.


Nevermind, looks like predatorpee.com carries it, duh.

[Machias]

You can buy it by the gallons in most trapper supply shops, online and in catalogs.

Nice Cat!!

Old trappers never die, they just smell like it.   

[rasbo]

last week I went up to set traps with a bud for our first time.We left one truck in a wide spot just off the road.My bud pissed behind the truck.When we came back there was apile of bobcat crap where he pissed.

[Kain]

Well this got me inspired so I called Dan Boes to get the home study guide.  Any advice you wanna throw my way would be awesome.

[Elkslayer]

Here is a picture that he sent to my cellphone, still trying to get some better ones. The cat on the right is an average size cat about 26lbs. The guy holding the cat is 6'2".
