Planning on attending this rendezvous. Will there be any bobcat traps available to buy at the event? Is the bobcat cage trapping panel going to discuss how to find good locations to place your sets? I am new to trapping (this year) and have yet to catch a bobcat. I have done lots of reading, bought some educational dvds(Mercer Lawings), etc, but nowhere have I found very much information about how to select the best location for your set(besides someone saying to "wear a pair of boots out"). I am looking forward to learning from those that have experience with actually catching and after 1 season of having traps out I now have some legitimate questions........Thanks for your time.-
Keith
I have some cat traps I would sell if you are interested. I'll bring a few for you to look at.
Location is one of the topics for the discussion on the cat trapping panel.

Adam will be doing a mink and a muskrat for the fur handling demo.
Miss Rodeo will be a no show but we will have her fur vest there for you to look at.
Mark Wagner will be a no show. I caught a cat today so will fill in with a fur handling demo and show how to skin out the feet.
As posted earlier it is $10 admission but we will let kids in free.

Any idea how long WDFW will be there for the cites tagging? Some things came up and I am not going to be able to get there until about 1:30 or 2.
They are usually gone by lunch.
