^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I use a 4X6 inch piece cardboard, brown on one side and white on the other out 5-10 ft from the set. When fluttering in a breeze the white stands out against the dark forest cover background and the brown against the snow, like a flashing neon sign. [Linked Image]


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

I already have a bobcat coming by every time I put some food there for him. I have a couple other bareas with similar cubbies already in place from years past. I may try an attractor at a couple of those. Even though I have the cat coming now there is no guarantee someone else won't get him before he gets to my spot.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Strike2x I like that, I am in same area of Mi as you and have a few closed end cubbies that I need to freshen up. I think I may pop the ends open on a couple. I live SE of West Branch and work NE of Higgins lake.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

If hanging a visual attractor for bobcats, how high off the ground should it be?
I seem to hear differing opinions on whether to hang it at, in front of, or behind the set

Feedinggrounds, I plan on trying some cubbies that are open on both ends and some that are closed on 1 end. This is to be my 1st year bobcat trapping (tough to get a tag here).
