Just about that time of year. We can start laying steel on Sunday. I am going to try to keep about 2 dozen sets out all season and move em around this year. When do yous start?

I’ve got to wait until the 10th of November.Good luck, I hope to see some pictures soon!

You beat me to starting this thread! This is a pretty bobcat I caught on Monday 10/28/19 on an ADC job for my oldest brother. No more chickens for you old tom! Caught him (my second ever tom) in a BMI #2 at a charred stump set near a chicken house with Okie brand Red Fox urine and Wayne Derrick's (wayne52 on here) "Pecos Valley Cat Call."

My Helloween catch! On the remake from the above bobcat!

Wednesday's catches.

That is by brother Justin with his skunk (Want To Be on here.)

Caught the skunk on Wayne Derrick's "Cat Gland" lure and some bobcat urine at a rub set. The young dog 'yote was caught at a dirt hole with Okie brand Fish Oil, Winter "Smoke House Predator Bait", Caven's "Canine Force" and a lure we got from a T-man member who goes by the name of "CJT Outdoors."

I caught my first ever 'con on the 4th and my second on the 5th! Wow, FINALLY!!! I've caught coyote, bobcat, fox, skunk, etc, but never a 'coon, but now I FINALLY got some! One was in a Z-trap the other was in a Duke DP.

Well on Friday I got my first coyote of the season! An old female (jip) caught in a fully modified Bridger #3 at a feather set with chicken feathers, Okie brand "Vantage" bait, foreign bobcat scat with Payne "Kitty-Kitty" lure, and a touch of Winter Wildlife Control "Secret Sauce" lure.

Then on Saturday I caught this gorgeous tom bobcat (my 3rd ever tom) at the remake from the above coyote. I remade the set as a dirt hole with Okie brand "Vantage" predator bait, and Wayne Derrick's "Caprock Call" & "001."

Got a double on our coldest morning so far. My season has been open for a few weeks. Pipe dream sets are the best I have found for bad weather. We had snow a few days then cold then rain and sets still.working when it was around 10 last night.

Nice catch!

Good job!

A.T., looks like your trapping skills are improving as you get more practice.
Keep it up! Just remember to keep your head down and your eyes open
when trapping. Don't just look, learn to see! Once you learn basic trapping
skills, which you obviously have, reading and understanding the clues that
your target animals leave behind will help you to become a better trapper
more than just about anything else you can learn. Of course, the lack of
snow in our part of the country makes it a little more difficult than than in
some other places. Good luck and have fun on your line! Don Hightower

Thank you for the advice and knowledge!

We just set a few sets out today, I'm hoping to have something in the morning.

What is your favorite sets? My 3 favorite is mouse holes set and compass set and walk through set and some times dirt hole sets.

Caught my first coyote of the year today! I can't put a pic on yet cause my mom has to up load them to my tablet so I can put them on.

Has anyone ever trapped a hooded skunk? Caught at a double dirt hole in an old Victor #3 modified using Winter Wildlife Control "Bait #2", Weiser's "Liquid Fox & Coyote Bait", and Wayne Derrick's "Tombstone" lure.
