up here and with a 1 cat limit,i'll watch for a big track in an area and target it.-we have a lot of cats.then i'll hook a rope to a fresh beaver and drag it from the road in to where i'll be settin,make 2 cubbies with big chunks of beaver and drag the rest back to the truck for the next stop if need be.

be careful with big baits in PA as they must be totally concealed from the air/above.

good luck,mine from last yr. [Linked Image]

generally jut catch them with my cat meat bait. This morning had one on a big piece of flank meat off a deer i killed this weekend. I do notice that cats and fox prefer fresh bait while coyotes like it better a little tainted. But either or will work.

My daughter and i each have a Wi cat tag. We have been getting some picture on the cameras and are going to set this weekend.
Has anyone very used the cleaning from rabbit pens to keep them around a set or to draw them in? My kids raise rabbits and the crap and urine mix that they clean from the pens is very strong smelling. And around here i notice the most cat sign in or near the thickest brush were we find rabbits. Seems like they would come to or spend some time checking out a gallon or two of the rabbit pen cleaning? Has anyone used this?

I think the rabbit stuff could be attractive to a cat but remember,one of the most important principles is to be right on location,then use your best attractants to try to get the cat to commit.Good luck to you both.

We will be using for tinsel and goose wings too, and have the location figured out from the camera pictures. But was thinking the rabbit pen stuff would just keep them working the set a little longer and i cant see how the smell wouldn't help to draw them in. Plus we have barrels of the stuff.

Domestic geese should be fine just make sure you use a bird that you can prove is not a wild one like a white one.

Wouldn't that make it a lure?

you can call it anything you like. i call it a prepared bait. critters like it. i catch more using a prepared bait, or lure if you prefer, than i do a straight bait with nothing added. rabbit fur, feathers etc are good too. probably have some odor value as well but i think primarily sight value. people always talk about visual attracters for bobcats, a good idea imo, but you rarely hear about visuals dealing with coyotes. visuals at coyote sets are a good idea to. just more subtle than a lot of the stuff people use at cat sets.
