Hey guys, name is Matt, I am a beginner trapper, but I am in love with it. This was set using caven's predator lure and bait, I didn't do a dirthole but instead a modification. I basically made a "treasure box" out of bark, put sticks on both sides, and put it a little bit into this small hillside. I covered the top with more bark to protect it from the rain. This was a week ago, I wasn't really trying to catch a bobcat, but goodness. This guy is huge for Louisiana, my first bobcat ever, I believe between him and some of the hawks, they have decimated our local fox squirrel population. Anyways, the trap was a bridger 1.65, not really a fan to be honest, outer digit catch, it held, but it is what it is. Here are some awesome pictures,

nice job!!

Congrats and welcome to Tman. I was born and raised in SW La. just north of LC. Been over here in Tx now for 12-13 yrs.

Congratulations

Good kitty!

Better watch out trapping in those Crocs! Not much feet protection.

Good job!

Nice!

Alsome man! Welcome.

I'm wearing pac boots and snowshoes, and this guy is wearing crocs barefoot?!

Christmas Eve it’s 66 degrees down here in SWLA

Gotta admit sometimes I’m jealous of you guy’s weather. Congratulations.

Remember I had that coon snatch one off me? Lol. I bet that’s been 8 or 10 years.

Too warm can be a problem though. Turtles cause a lot of problems when it’s warm and catches spoil quickly.


An upside is an increase in movement around cold snaps. We’ll get a 5 or so day window of great trapping right before and immediately following cold snaps, which is just right for certain trap lines. Catch em and pull traps

I have to admire a man that traps wearing 'Gators'

Natural Born Trapper well done

do all y’all coona...’s toss 220’s at em like you’re at the carnival lol

... nice cat bud ! If you’re not satisfied with 1.65, trade up for some 2 dogless... dang good trap for the cats down here
