Title: One Big Bobcat!!
Post by: GBobcat on January 30, 2012, 02:23:25 PM: Just had put out some Duke #2 coil traps along with some Beaver as bait with powder river cat call as lure. Some feather's to add to the set also. I had this Big Boy walk right in front of my set. Just
too far left by a cat hair. He never went for the bait. I think the feathers was what he was looking at. I had my reconyx trail cam on this set and got a few pic's. Does anyone have a good idea or diffrent ways to pull the cats in? Lures-Bait-Ect..

lucky. I will post a pic of one of the sets for you to check out.
