Rub set on that tree does seem like it would be the ticket.

I won't get in there again until the weekend. 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

High winds have been an excuse for years.
A 30mph winds in heavy woods don't mean squat.

Heck, I've called in coyotes several times in 40± winds in wide open prairies.

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.

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.

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.
