Title: Big Tom
Post by: redi on February 20, 2017, 11:44:54 PM: Got this big Bobbie today in a trap I got from Ouchfoss. He gave the boys and I a thrill snarling and growling. I appreciate all the help and tips from everyone here. I used Jessie's tip of moving 50 or 60 yards to a Better location to improve my success. Special thanks to Bruce for all his work putting on trapping classes and helping us new trappers.

Seems kind of odd how moving a cage like 50 - 100 yards can make a cage shy cat decide to go in but it does work. Glad to hear those cages are giving you so much fur and fun!

How has the trapping season been going for you?
