a while back someone ask about 330, for cats in Michigan ,

in Michigan they have to be 4 foot off the ground, I use a whole beaver carcass, wire to the tree, leave enough branches so they can't jump up from ground, and get by trap,

Good Deal
Congratulations

That's a tad different than the bobcat sets we use here in Texas.

I noticed your extension for the 330 very nice set up

Nice set up.

Serious question...Why elevate the trap that much? Wouldn't the cat be slinking up the pole with it's head down low while approaching the bait? Never trapped cats so I don't know, but guys get them to stick their heads in cubbies and buckets...??

Michigan law sez dry land conibears must be 4' off the ground,220 size and up

This is The same question I just thought of. How tall of an extension are you using?

So even if it's up 4 or 5 feet on the pole it still needs to be up 4" or more off the log (the log is considered to be the ground)??

Guessing maybe 6" since it's holding a 330

Misunderstood the question.I thought he wanted to know why it was so far from ground level

I have found that if you don't elevate the trap off the log, many times the 'cat will try to leap over the entire trap.

the stand for the traps are 5 inches high , I have found that cat will stick there head in better , time will tell , :), I try to put brush over the top of the trap to prevent jumping over trap

Really nice setup! Any thought about incidental fisher?

scott it happens
