Title: Bobcat miss - Finally Got Her
Post by: UrbanTrapper on October 24, 2014, 10:02:41 PM: On a nuisance job, I set this double door trap for bobcat at a good choke point and brushed it in. Somehow I missed him as he walked through the trap and even paused to smell what was probably the bobcat urine I sprayed in there. I guess it just goes to show you that cat's do have nine lives.

This cat showed no interest in any of the baited and lured sets I recently put in the area. A double-door set like this is very low maintenance but still likely to eventually catch chicken-killers.
