I believe there is a learning curve to cages. I messed with a cage and a live chicken for bait 25-30 years ago. snow on the ground. cat showed up 4 nights in a row. I pelted that cat by setting a foot trap. cage is still sitting out by my shed where its been ever since

If I knew there was going to be a cat fight last night I would have grabbed a bowl of ice cream and watched.

That cat that leaves a track by a dirthole will get caught in the rub set ...that cat that leaves a track by the rub set will get caught in the “lure optional blocked down walk through” that cat that turns off before committing to the blocked down walk through set will get caught in the hippie cage trap...and the cat that just circles the hippie cage trap will get caught in the flat set with a turd ...and the cat that just pauses by the flat set with a turd will get caught in the cubbie set with Christmas tinsel ...so on and so forth ....but eventually the cat gets caught

.....time and variety are the secret ingredients when it comes to cats

....wish I had more time lol

Best bobcat foot hold set on the planet is seven inches buried dead in front of the corner of a cage trap.
Bobcats cant resist smelling the frame. Well, except in CO. Most of those cats just walk on bye with out skipping a stride.

Hey Laz - how long is the list of lure ingredients that can cause a cat to rub? Pretty long eh?
Since lure makers don't tell you whats all in them you might not know if what your using could cause a rub? Sure some are called out as "rub lure" but others aren't. Take one of the best lures out there - Pacific Call. At least three things in there proven to promote rubbing.

Good entertainment,

Mercer, you posted well. Only a polished, "deadly" cat nabber remains humble. The more you catch, the more you realize how many you missed. I never worry to much about the boy who posts they are the bestest in the westest, bar no one. They catch a few. Humble is king in the land of the great ones.

I get the "you have a boat load of cats or coyotes in your area" comments all the time and sometimes I agree, but did you ever notice that the more critters you catch the harder the rest of the critters become to catch (survival instincts) or do you as a trapper think that all animals are dumb. If you've trapped cats year after year in the same ground, and you're pretty good at it, are there more in year 5 than day one? If you're "great", should be "fewer... by far", correct? So the solid trappers have fewer kitties year after year on ground they hammer. Food for thought.

I had a solid year.


...And I missed a boat load (not sure how many that is).

And I catch very, very, very, very few in rubs sets cause cats are weird at them and act funny and I like sets where I get "more" not "less" results.

Carry on captain!

With all the cat folks on this thread, I'd like to know where to build this fool proof walk-through set; given that there is several sections of pretty much identical forested hills and hollows and that almost every 40A includes at least one hill and one hollow or part of one, not many identifiable game trails but most of the ridges and most of the hollows have two tracks; what do you look for as the ideal spot for such a set??

Will the cats always follow the two tracks?

Can you just set in the same place you'd set for fox or coyote, but instead of using lure just fence in a small area with no lure and let the fence attract the cat?

All good posts.... Something I learned about them thar kitties is I ain't never learned it all.... even if I think I did!!! I always get taught a new lesson every now and then. Course if I wasn't out there trying, I'd never learn nothing!! Mr June made some pretty correct statements. Also a lite snow will show a fella just how bad (or good) a trapper he really is. Besides if ya caught them all this year, what would a guy trap next year??

Very well put neb.cat, I don't want to catch all in my area. Gotta leave some seed. Plus way get that worked up after them with a coyote market like we got. Just my 2 cents.

I can’t catch crap with Pacific Call.

I must use it wrong.

Gimme some good fox or coyote gland lure any day.

Around this area the Cats Love wondering the Creek bottoms. My favorite thing to do after a fresh skiff of snow is go tracking. Find those natural choked down travel spots and show them where to step. If I was using rub lure I would incorporate it in such an area.
