Thanks Guy's, the most productive cat set for me is a step-down on a road culvert, make a platform half way down to the bottom of the ditch on one side of the culvert. Bed the trap, block it in. Throw some eye appeal and lure down at the end of culvert hardly ever miss and sometimes multiple catches.We have thousands of miles of timber company roads in SE OK. Culverts are hot spots for predators. Most of these culverts are on wet weather drainage and you don't have to worry about the set washing out. You and I trap the same part of the world. I check every culvert on those timber company roads. One of my “go to” locations. Do you have a theory on why they like to use those culvert crossings as toilets? It’s about the only consistent toilet location I can find. The only other trapper I’ve ever heard talk about culverts was Mike Bailey in his cat trapping dvd. I haven’t tried the step down set but I have no doubt it will work. I will have to put in a few of those sets this weekend.

Walk through sets work great for me and like Savell mentions I try to make it right where they should travel anyways. I've grown so fond of rubbing posts I have even planted them on some of the best trails.
