Nice looking bobcat. Are you liking your new trap design?

I do but that is one design back. The new ones are much easier to build. After they are built that one and the new ones work great but there is only about a tenth the labor in building one of the newer ones

Nice bob :tup:  I have several traps very similar. Can't remember the name of the guy who built them or their name, but I'm sure you do.

Maybe Schroeder

I believe that's right. I know they haven't been available for years.

Haven't been doing much lately. Thinking about pulling what traps I have out. Going on a trapping trip in late Feb so I'm not done for the year.
Here's the last cat I caught. I thought it was pretty but the belly is poor. Going to get it tanned.

Nice looking cat. Congrats. Cant wait to get all set up to get some of my own.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

Cool cat! what size box trap?
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
