I would suggest Tuna fish or sardines then.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Dunno for sure but
If someone set a trap across from your house wouldn't you go look at whose name was on the trap tag?

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

This post surely has me confused because A) I didn't set any 220s in the Iowa ROW and B) I didn't set any traps near anyone's house. I did have several traps stole, but again, none of them were 220s.


Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

You're nuts and I'm done here. I ran 4 dozen footholds, mostly #11s and about 3 dozen DPs, dukes and Z traps.

Here's my pics of traps I posted on Facebook back then. You can look at the rest of my pics from that line as well and see if you see any 220s.

I have trapped for years with 220's in cubbies. Never had one in a bucket though. I have never caught a cat in one. I have had them circle the cubby but never had one stick its head in. Mine were set for coon or fisher. I have guys in this area build boxes and have had luck catching cats. Most of them were using beaver meat as bait.

Looking at a trap tag is interfering?

I would say yes but depending on who sees you. The only reason I look is if the trap is set where it is not suppose to be.

Yes looking at a trap tag is interference. Unless you are a CO/ law enforcement/ or landowner.

It falls under trap tampering. Harassment. Misdemeanor charge.

And I think the people catching cats in boxes are doing so in a slightly elevated set.

When I'm trapping coyote or coon in footholds on land, my trap tag is buried in the trap bed. No way to check that without interfering.


Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

When I think of a bucket for body grip Bobcats, I'm picturing those square white buckets. Are you guys slightly elevating such a set? I thought I heard Bobcats don't like to crouch way down for a small bucket

Beaver fleshings and a lure that promotes a cat to rub.
Put some skunk up high.
Lastly, be careful where you set.
