Well I spent my very abbreviated season focusing on getting and making unique videos for an end of the year "how I do it video".  I have some amazing video to put together very soon. Here's a teaser clip. Please subscribe to my channel to see it when it comes out.

Was that a second Bob outside the cage? Cool video.

Awesome video. I may need to invest in more traps if each set is going to take two

Great Video.   :tup:

Was the camera inside or outside of the cage?

 When I know 2 cats are working the bait I will definitely set 2 traps. It works well and I've had doubles doing that in the past. However I'm thankful that I didn't know the bigger cat was there or I may not have gotten all the great video. The camera is attached to the cage on the outside. And let's just say I'm thankful I have a great job that allows me to purchase multiple cameras.  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

This is good stuff.  Curious, what are the weights of some of the larger cats you get?  We had one hanging around our house a few years back that was huge.  Even walked across the deck one day.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Yes, praise the Lord I'm grateful! Had exactly a 75% success rate on traps I set again this year. And of those, 50% were caught within 2 hours of setting the traps.

This has been an interesting study. Out of my last 50 cats only one has gone over 30. Most mature toms are in the 20 to 28 pound range. They look bigger than they really are. Ever picked up an owl? Kind of the same.  :chuckle:

3 nails been wondering where you been I have enjoyed the videos of the bobcats see you have changed your choice of sidearm anyways during the covid crisis I took the online trapping course and passed it  purchased a tomahawk bobcat trap last year didn't get. chance to use it this year because of my job but next year will be a different story what I am looking to do is trap one or call one in and harvest it would rather trap it  so I can really get a good look at it would like to get it mounted and hang it on the wall have you had any of your cats mounted after you harvest them do you just tube them when you skin them I guess what I am asking here is if you do a full life size mount how do you skin them out
