Mark also told me to use a food lure or bait.

That's cool. Nice cat. Did u use gland lure or a food lure on cats?

It was food not sure which one for that set. It was deer based with either dunlap bait solution or jamesons.

Illinideer going to have to give it a try on cats to see how it works. Just have to figure out how to drive plastic pipe into rock. Lol.
Do trap a lot of pasture and will make more than two sets this season. Since the rainy season always seems to start the day I set traps and stops the day I pull them, this wet weather set should shine.

Zags bedding style realy shines in wet weather. I had a compass set that didnt connect for about 20 -25 days. It was on a corner between me and my friends pasture. We had rain snow freeze thaw and repeat. I would hit it with fox pee after a hard rain ended upwith a nice female coyote. For some reason this spot is only good for one coyote. Going try some sabertooth drags with pipe sets this year to see if i can keep from spoiling a good location

Just saw this.....

Yes, put something in the pipe they like the taste of and want MORE of..........this is NOT a "scent post" set......its an "above ground" dirt hole! You want them there for 7 minutes, NOT 7 seconds and gone.

I caught six bobcats in one day with pipes........all released since no tags.

I have seen this Pipe Dream videos on You Tube.....NONE of them are the way I do it, but at least SOME of them give me credit for it! I had a Coyote U class this weekend and we watched some of the videos during a break in the action!

I WILL be making a video for my website and YouTube to show how I do it.....and it will be done on real-trap conditions and will be done professionally............Stay Tuned.

Till then, read the original articles on my website www.coyoteu.com and certainly read the million-hit thread located somewhere on this site.....as MOST EVERY question that could be asked and has been answered (often more than once) on that post!

Try it...you will like it!

Last year, some very VERY good trappers I know tried it in earnest for the first time, and it saved their season. They finally saw the weather I battle annually that forced me to come up with a solution if I wanted to land trap in the fall in Central New York...................and they will never go back!

Mark do you sell the paste bait that you call pipe dope , couldn’t find anything on your site .

I do and I don't.....I USED to only sell to students....then I had enough to take to some conventions. Not really interested in shipping it around......but could be talked into it I'd reckon.....

A few days later

Butch nice catch!
I did well with pipe sets last year while playing in the mud. Worked well in the rain. When all the dirt holes filled with water, the pipe sets were working. Finally toward the end that's all my remakes were.

I cant wait until season November 9th. I want to try this set. I was given some horse meat bait from a another member. I dont think it would help cut any leaves up in head of time do ya?

Some great tips in this thread!

I prebaited pipes, collected and cut up grass, cut a bunch of screen covers up and made a nice orderly system to carry everything. I can knock out a complete set in less time than it took me to write this. Well close anyhow...

I have everything but screen covers cut.

bobcat_trapper, what part of Arkansas are you in? I grew up in eastern Arkansas (Monroe county, beside the White River). Richard "Dick" Mondy.

What brand bait have ya had the best luck with in pipe? I got some horse meat bait never used any. That's what I am trying first thing in them.

I use deer meat with bait solution last year it was dunlap and jameson the year before dobbins. This year I'm trying dunlaps winter bait solution. As for commercial bait Mark Junes widow maker, rusty johnsons lucky and Jeff Dunlap soultaker
