Cage traps work well, I just think the Havahart models are junk.  You better off with taller traps for bobcats, 15 to 18 inches is best.  There is a guy in KS that makes very good boxtraps, tall, I think they go for $60 a trap, but I'm not sure if the shipping will kill you.  If you want I can get his information and pass it along to you.
