lures and bait

[bare.hunter]

lures and bait what do you guys use for predators
I have some mt magic and lennons all call and have had
some luck with both.What is it that you use and why what about
feather or eye attactant for cats.
this forum has been alittle quit for awhile so how about helping
a newbie and what else do we have to do in the off season.

I watched Bernie Nelsons presentation yesterday at the Rondy.  He is a very successful bobcat cage trapper, uses no visual attractant and no lure on most of his sets, he said once in a while he will put a little castor lure on his beaver bait.

that is interesting because mercer said he only uses bait if he misses the cat the first
time.
what kinda cages do mr nelson use.
where does he trap(state)

What'd be the best set up for fox?

My lures and bait are like a great barbequers marinade. Top secret. I've spent countless hours finding things on my own to be successful, and to me, that's part of the fun trapping.

i have never seen a fox in sw washington maybe there and i just never saw them or there tracks.
but grey fox would be fun to trap.
