I'd like to eliminate some coyotes before the fawns come in the spring. The issue is, we have a bobcat that we like seeing on camera and I don't want to trap it. Actually, there's a female bobcat we see regularly, a male we see rarely, and year before last a pair of kittens were regular on the camera too.

I don't have anything against trapping cats in general, its just that we're attached to these and like seeing them.

Am I right in thinking that any set that will get a coyote has a high chance of also getting the bobcat? So I'd need large box traps for safe & easy release of bobcats?

Turn a couple of lions loose by yourself and you will wonder why you were ever concerned about releasing bobcats.

The 1/2 sheet of plywood with a notch is how is how I do it

What I like to do is approach the wildcat… look it in the eyes and insult its family…. Then take my left hand and wave it off to my side about waste high in a circular motion… when the cat directs its focus onto the waving left hand I punch it square in the jaw with my right… while the cats stunned I remove it from the trap and football punt it about 20 yards into the brush while letting out a Comanche war cry

… I’m known more for my speed than power

Bet you ain't gonna get a like for that!
