Got a call on a bunch of wild felines that the neighbor and home owner have been trying to take care of them selves but after 12 the rest of the ferals caught on so NOW they are asking for my help with the remaining 20 or so. Any tricks with trap wise ferals???

Couldn't keep them away from fox gland lure in my past experience!

Gang set always. Catch them fast before they become wise to them. IMO, behind releasing them from the trap the number one resaon for trap shy is playing with one or two traps when you need a dozen. Once trap shy good dang luck. I know folks who swear it can be done with conventional cages but I say BULL. The dumb and starving maybe but feral cats as rule once burned will not repeat the mistake. If you must do cages try these tricks Cover the cages and or blend them in with brush to make cubbies, cover the floor with dirt/grass, try double door traps. Kirk DeKalb has one that I want to try that is a short trap that has a huge opening. Look up his videos on utube for the bobcat one.

I bait with a good wet food, hang some feathers from the back and throw some cat nip inside. covering the traps is always a good idea.
