Is Norm Blackwell still making his bobcat trap?

I have a couple cage traps out right now. Today they seemed froze up from the weather so I readjusted them and I hope they'll work now.. but I'm not sure if there's any cats in the area that might be interested in walking into 1. They sure are finnicky. Seemingly no pattern whatsoever with the way cats maneuver through my area.

That is cats. Finicky! I have found that a wad of Spruce boughs under the trap keep them working. I also cover the cages with them to keep them from freezing in rain/sleet conditions. Caging cats has to be my favorite. If it is a kitten or female you just roll the cage over and let them go. The ultimate catch and release.

Ya just have to remove the t bars w/out getting scratched. Could be tricky I imagine

I have two sets of four from Mercer, I highly recommend them!

I need to try to get my hands on a couple more cage traps. This time I think I'd like to try one of those with the vertical drop-down door.

Go with the camtrip cages from mercer! You can get the set of 3 or a set of 4 that nest well to save space. Top quality. Though it will be probably next season to get any as He is a busy guy. Worth the wait though.

You might take a loojk at Wickencamps.
made here in Iowa.

I thought about putting out my Fisher cage for Bobcat but it might be too small.

As for ordering Bobcat cage trap(s), to ship I bet that's pretty tough to ship something Freight that big

Tomahawk Live Trap is outside of Hazelhurst, WI 800-272-8727
They manufacture their own brand and Comstock Traps. Give them a call for recommendations, see what they might have in current stock,or when they will be scheduling a production run. Pick up at their facilities or have them bring it over to a convention near you.

Good info so far, thanks

Freight is so brutal that picking up at a convention seems to be the way to go

I wish mine had a bait door in the back. I was remaking a set today after a coon was in my cage. It had everything messed up and a lot of debris around the cage pan. It made for a tough remake in order to get the pan clear enough so the door would fire.

Yes shipping is the killer. Just pick up at the factory.

I have three cages out right now for Bobcat. 1 is a heavy duty coon cage though so I'm not really counting that, though I have heard of Bobcat's ~wedging themselves in 1 so I put it out with beaver in it.

What brand of trap?

I use Little Wolf Trapping Supply cages out of Manawa, Wisconsin.
