Are you worried you don't have lures that will draw in feral cats or are you tryin to find a designer lure that will cat h more of one sex than the other?
I know little about ferals except how far to lead them. Regarding bobcats I never could find a lure that did the work for me. I tried to release all the milk bellies and yearlings but the best way that I caught more Tom's than anything else was simply by using some strategy in determining locations and to hit it hard when they should be on the prowel.
I wanted to maximize my harvest but I wanted to do it year after year and in dealing with ferals I would think population control would be the goal.
What am I missin?.

Martyd, I did just that and couldn't keep coyotes out of the set. Tried it in different locations with the same results.

Castor seems to hold an interest for both bobcats as well as feral. Then again most ALL critters seem to be drawn to it. It seems most times causes a rubbing response.
