I have caught many bobcats in trail sets blocked down going into road pipes under prairie country roads and in farm country. If they stay dry and in many cases where I trapped they remained dry. Even if they have some water flowing in the middle there may be some dry areas on the sides of the water. Most of the pipes I trapped were 4-6 ft in diameter. Not sure how much traffic a smaller pipe will have to cats but setting the ends with bait, or lure inside would certainly create interest from many animals. I'll consider trying this next month. Thanks for the tip.

how big are the ones you use lawdog? I look for them with about the same opening of a 30 gallon grease drum. I’ll measure some when I get home later today sitting on someone at the hospital now. I prefer the 40-~50 gallon size, but you know more about cat trapping than me. Maybe it's just that I use whatever I was able to get my hands on for barrels.

Out in eastern Oregon after a good snowstorm bunnies will hide or seek refuge in culverts off the two tracks. The cats know where all those culverts are and visit them regularly.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Plastic culverts and smaller steel barrels are my go to for cats
Do cats really like to enter barrels much? I see so much on T-man telling about how pass-through sets are the way to go
