Does anyone use cages for lynx? Just curious, never seen it before on here. I’d assume they’d be too much of a burden to transport by snow machine. What about wolverine in cages?

A couple old timers here cage trapped lynx regularly.
They built their cages out of poles and chicken wire out on their lines and used them year after year.Very effective set.They are not built to be moved around.They are permanent cages used year after year.
Never heard of anyone hauling around cages for cats.
A guy in BC wrote a good article on how to make the cage traps in the bush in one of the trapping mags years ago.I think he was the same guy that supplied 50 or 60 lynx for repopulating them somewhere in the states back in the day.

Re: Looking for a good shoulder hostler [by Larry Baer]

I wore a Craft holster for 6 years. One day I was seated on the throne and when I moved forward to get up my CZP01 had somehow become unsnapped. It slid out and went end over end and landed on the end of the barrel and went off. The bullet hit the concrete floor luckily and desiderated. I sent it back to CZ and found a part was work that blocked the hammer so it went off. I have another holster now that holds it with the barrel pointing down. It is more secure and works well but is nowhere near as fast as the Craft holster was. I liked that holster but I never carried with it again.

If you ever go out to catch prairie rattlers in the spring around prairie dog towns, and one of those little burrowing owls comes out of a hole about mach 42 your heart will beat faster.

Question about cement mixers for making wax dirt [by Grandpa Trapper]

About long would it take to run the mixer for the wax to blend and melt in with the dirt. I am talking about a small cement mixer with full capacity of dirt in it.

Re: A little sheepish on these turkeys [by gcs]

Reason we have them here like that is you can't hunt them in the neighborhoods, except for the odd sniped one,

People claim they stop traffic, chase them, and kinda act like they own the place...Staten Island is loaded with them and a lot of people are afraid of them, lol

These people are afraid of bugs too, so there's that..

They roam the area like pets, know who feeds them, and will knock on your door if you're late with a hand out.....not so dumb...lol

I think bait is much more important than lure for mink sets that are not blind sets. And keep it fresh.

good info and agree with Gusto

A lure I have experimented with and have had good results with is bobcat gland lure. Years ago I used this at dirt holes up on top of river banks and was surprised at the number of mink I'd catch. Carman's. Went to using this on the river and continued success with the mink.

There are times when I believe a loud mink gland lure will cause females to shy away from a set. Just a thought.

Re: .41 Rem. Mag [by Raghorn67]

I'm a big 41 mag fan.
I've had at least 1 around for over 30 years. A lot of times I've had 3 or 4.
I will have my Ruger Redhawk until I'm dead .
I've killed many deer with the 41 mag through the years also.
Easy shooting round for just going shooting for an afternoon, but plenty of energy and velocity to hunt deer with

The Strain [by Trapper7]

Some on here have been talking about Svengoolie and some of the good horror films. I have seen a few that were OK. But, lately for the second time I've started watching The Strain. If you like horror, it's got to be right at the top. Anybody else watch it?
