Is a gland lure what primarly gets the cats to rub

Sounds like a great way to catch a pet dog unless you are in extremely remote country; I can't imagine too much of that in Iowa.

There are far more satisfying ways to catch cats.








This is my LEAST favorite way and has always lead to the most refusals. This is an old picture from before we were required to have an overhang.

Castor will make em rub- anything added to the castor is just a bonus.

160- That white stuff looks cold- better limit the number of cups of coffee you drink up there.

I am already sick of this white stuff! It is over knee deep and the Tundra is still in the pole barn. I am ready to load it in the back of my truck and just start driving South until someone asks me "Hey, what is that contraption"? That is when I will know I have gone South far enough.

That's quite a load there 160user

It's nothing the Super T can't handle.

I say the same thing about this freeze and thawing out every 6 or 7 days and then it rains and the mud is 2ft deep. I will take all the snow I can get and as long as I can keep it in 2012 it was white all winter best season I've had.

At least I haven't had any mud to deal with this winter

Conibears in buckets are dog killers. Use other methods.

160s are what Wisconsinites use if they use a conibear for bobcat (unless it is on a leaning pole 5' off the ground, then 220s are allowed, though I don't know anybody that uses a leaning pole set for Bobcat

That looks like a small cage. Maybe it's just a big cat. I have a Fisher cage that's like a high quality Coon cage that I'm thinking about setting but I didn't think it was big enough.

As for your picture with the Conibear: we don't need an overhang for 160s.

I only have 1 body grip trap out for Bobcat right now.. just not many places right now that I'd prefer such a set (although I'm glad it's an option we are allowed in our 'toolbox').

Here's the 160 I put out in the swamp.
