Cat on trail cam!
« on: February 06, 2016, 05:02:49 PM »
Got this cat two times last week on my cam, once on Sunday and again on Weds. Between 4:30 and 5 pm both times, this cat is 150 yds from my house, my question is do I set up in a stand? Or try to ambush it on the ground? I am going to set out another cam tomarrow in the hopes that I can possibly pattern it? If that is even possible, I am new to this cat thing so any input is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

It might be hanging around because it already has a kill somewhere, find it to find your cat.

We have found 3 different mule deer kills within a 1.5 mile radius of this camera, but no luck yet on being in the right place at the right time, my neighbor's cows are going to start calving today so you can see this might be an issue, the cows are within 1 mile of this camera also.

Could try some bait in front of the cam.   Do you have an e-caller?

Any idea when the kills started.  About ten miles east of you ours stopped late last fall.  Same cat or do we have a bunch?

Just went on a 2 hour hike, picked up a set of old tracks in the remaining snow, no deer kills and no fresh pictures. Have till end of April to hopefully cross paths, going to buy an e- caller doing research now,,,feel like it may be my best bet.

Nwwanderer, the most recent kill was last week 1 mile from me, the one before was 1.5 miles to the north it was two weeks before. And yes we have a lot of cats!

So pulled my card today, and this is what we have, came in on Sunday at 2:30 pm, two hours after I had just spent two hours hiking around looking for a kill, came back again at 8 pm, 12 midnight on Monday and again at 6:30 am Tuesday morning. The plan is to put my tree stand up and become a bird till I get a shot at this rascal? Any input?
