Providence Farm trapper P Joined: Feb 2020 Posts: 8,972 Indiana	Originally Posted by elsmasho82 Is no one understanding that these cats are his pets? And so we're the 3 I caught on my farm this year that got released. Funny caught 4 coyotes and a bobcat but still have cats and rabbits and quail. O and groundhogs. 2 less groundhog since they made it into traps. They were not released like all the cats were and are doing fine. Other than snares and crazy high pan weight you are going to have a hard time not catching a cat now and then. Use traps with thick offset jaws and maybe Small traps like ,mb 450.

Yea, I do but unless he eliminates the yotes and bobcats he won't have them for long. My cat was my best friend, only friend actually. He used to go with me on my walk every morning. Came when I called. The yotes or bobcats got him one night. Been on a mission ever since. (8 downloads)

He was still having coyotes plugging up his lion sets. The point is crank UP the pan tension, 6 pounds will likely keep most cats safe . If you catch a cat turn it loose .
