No one talks about what they tried or imo even used a cage large enough except the California study which had a 4'x4'x8' trap. They used mostly carcasses and lure. I plan to use live bait in a well protected cage attached in side. Using a small rooster or some quail my sister raises. Isn't think it's going to be for wilderness coyotes. But the coyotes that are more than happy to break in to our chicken coops I think would have no problem going in as they seem more than willing to go right the coop by any means possible.
As for cougar I'm sure that's more than possible. But as I stated this will be more for problem coyotes that are causing troubles at or near people's homes. In my area as many of you know cougar are a major problem and numbers are high. I've delt with more than a few, I'm sure a release would be more than exciting. I respect the cougar but I do not fear them. Almost every cat I ever ran across wanted nothing more than to get away. Speedy and safe release will be in the design

Good luck too you. You're going to need it.

Is it legal to bait coyotes ? If so my thought would be prebait area for awhile and put it in a thicker brush area. And fence off all areas but a few to a handful of trails that they use build essentially some big swim throughs that are dbl door probably 2'x42"x 6' and put them in the trails and de-scent them very good .camo the cages and cover the floor with ground cover that's my suggestion
Hmmmm I might try this :dunno:

Yes I bait coyote most winters. That could work
Huntingfool7 that video has my gears turning!
Thanks for the input guys. This will be a fun project. I look forward to the challenge
I'll update here as it progresses

I thnk te idea if building a large cage is a dead end road that has been trod before. Just the size of the cage makes it a non-starter in my book.
I would think something completely different is the direction I would take. Think about this idea. A cage trap that the coyote does not have to enter to get caught in.
