Tuesday, after Monday’s rain I went and placed a PDS in front of the camera and a dirt hole set off to the side up the road a little. Of course, deer were the first to visit, lol. Wednesday evening I get a text we had just caught a coon. I checked the radar and figured I had enough time to take care of the coon and reset the trap before the rain started. I didn’t refresh any bait or lure and just gave it a shot of bobcat urine. Well after 1.5” of rain, the cat came through this morning...and got caught! This is the last pic as my buddy was driving down to experience his first cat in a trap, lol.

Caught my first bobcat this year and it spent over 5 minutes checking two sets I had there before stepping on a pan. Was interesting to watch.

I’ll get with him later to see if he had the cat or coon working the sets before caught. I just thought I’d was cool to have pics of the bobcat walking the exact path for weeks and then catching him.

I put in a coyote set, put up a covert (2 pm), and got a bobcat and a bunch of hen turkeys gathered around him by 6pm. Last edited by Buckpasser; 02/20/21 09:54 PM. Some days I think I could trap anything anytime. Others I wonder if I’ll ever make another catch...

I was just telling my buddy that I have drove up on turkeys surrounding a bobcat in a trap and deer standing around stomping at a caught coyote. Guess it’s there version of the last laugh.

It took me a minute, but realized it was a fox. Decided to go ahead and take care of it and reset. Glad I did because deer had tripped the other set. I remade that exact set since he didn’t tear up the set too bad.
