Spread out a bag of cheap birdseed.  I roll my beaver meat for bait in birdseed.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I wonder if you could block the tree just a little and use a gland lure on the tree. I would LOVE to see a picture of the tree. I have heard many old timers talk about finding "cat toilets" and taking cats from there every year. In all my years in the woods I have never found one. Rub set on that tree does seem like it would be the ticket.

I will take a picture of the tree and surrounding area. It just interest me. Why here and this tree. Stay tuned!

Wow. I expected to come on here to find the cats moved for everybody last night. I caught 4 today! Biggest a 31 pounder. One i had just snared, he tried to climb the tree when I got there, then choked out quick. Saw lots of wolf fresh wolf tracks, it snowed a dusting yesterday. Saw one more small bobcat track that thankfully missed one of my sets

Heck, I've called in coyotes several times in 40± winds in wide open prairies.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I have heard many old timers talk about finding "cat toilets" and taking cats from there every year. In all my years in the woods I have never found one. I caught a cat this year on a cat toilet I made using scat from domestic cats. Raided my niece's cat litter box. This might also be an option by the scratching post.

Rub set on the tree. Pile some brush up and make a walk throughl
I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

Heck, I've called in coyotes several times in 40± winds in wide open prairies. I too have shot plenty of coyotes in terrible winds in the west. In those conditions I try to call more in cut country using electronics. The dogs I get at that time always seem to be old dogs. I do not know why that would be. Osky

The wolves were back here again last night. The raven's are squawking like crazy behind the house so I better go for a walk and check things out.
