Thayne I just went to 4 lb pan tension last season. All the bobcats I caught were large toms. But I doubt that I missed any smaller cats. I was catching them a quarter mile or more away from protective cover that females and kittens normally rely on. Big toms can protect themselves from coyotes.

Do any of you use the Sullivan trap tester to test the firing weight on the pan. That's what I use I'm just curious how accurate they are. I use one I tested it on my wife digital kitchen scale it was with in an ounce + or _ 1 2 and 3 lbs J
