You gotta be kiddin' me!

This guy hung around the trap for 6 minutes the other night.



But never got closer than this.




You can tell that he hears the squeaker box, but he never checks it out.

But wait......there's more.

One from a couple weeks ago. 
A little washed out, but you can still tell it's a kitty.

Geez, how about rigging up a shotgun on a tree, with a tripwire so that when the kitty walks by he'll get his butt shot?        

[billythekidrock]

I know.....

I just want to catch one of them.... I don't care which one.

have you tried hanging a small feather in the back of the trap off of a piece of fishing line?Works like a champ,peaks their curiosity.

Hell of a difference between getting one in a cage on the eastside as opposed to the west side. You stand a better chance if you get some real miserable weather but some just will not go in.IMHO

[rasbo]

good luck,there is so much food,and the warm temps here it makes a difference..Ive got beaver meat,and a piece of fur with a little meat left on it hanging in the back of the cage,The lure is under the cage...Ive had yotes within inches of the traps,they dont even investgate...I set my traps so I can check them with binos now..Hoping that might make a difference..Its getting costly checking traps.I might pull them all..

Both have feathers on the ground inside and a wing hanging. The first one also has a box inside that chirps like a bird.

Awesome, but I feel your pain.  Good luck.

[Skyvalhunter]

Sweet!! I feel his pain feeling your pain.

[Beartrap]

Keep it simple, and be patient.At times it can be painful seeing kitty's so close but yet so far away. Try some shrimp shells or crab shells. Good Luck

[quadrafire]

Stick a leg trap out there where he is looking in from, that should help. Then shove him in the box when you come to check it. That should be legal right?

I have never been a fan of Squeakers,,,,

Maybe try not hiding the cage as much,,,,,aka set it on the trail with the trap 90 degree off,,,,

Then maybe you need a lure of some sort to get him looking in the hole? fur or legal feather with eyes? A blue teddy bear??

I also do not see any flagging,,,,,Cats and dogs see Blue very well
