x3 on the Sierra Mist. I am big on rub sets and unless I left it somewhere else, my go to is Siera Mist or Bob's Nub Rub at face height with some visual and Carmen's Catmando up high.
If you set it up like that and see a cat ever passed it by, you will probably going to see strides every 8 or 9 feet (cat was doing Mach 1).

For you guys observing barn cats, do you ever see them rub just once and leave? I never do. If they like something they rub over and over both directions which I think accounts for the reason Bobcats never work my posts and leave before I check traps.
I have convinced myself they go back and forth until they hit the pan but the way I set it up, they probably set off the trap the first pass.

I've gotten a few Bobcats on video working coyotes sets. Cats seem to spent a lot of time at sets even dirt holes. Back in the old days. When I ran a few big flash = Leggetts style dirt holes with skunky stuff. I caught more bobcats than I wanted too ! LoL !

caster,a little sac oil, good fish oil, and a dash of valerian works pretty good
