Second cat of the season for me and a pretty cat for sure. Caught in a cubby with Lennons bobcat all call and an old turkey carcass for bait. Share your favorite cat sets and lures/baits.

Nice picture! How was the belly?

Nice bobcat.Congrats

Ooooweeee! Nice belly too. Congrats!

Q ) As a rule . . . do you have a 'set length' from an attractant that you place you trap ?
And how much does guiding play a role in your normal 'cat set ?


( I'm sure some of viewers on here would benefit from your answers. )

Very nice

Cat #3 caught on a dirt hole with soul taker. I had a horseshoe of sticks to guide the feet. I assume from the back foot catch I was either a little far from the dirt hole or the cat circled the set.

Cat backed into it to spray.Nice bobcat.

This mornings run in northern NV. I use walk through sets almost exclusively and brew my own lures.

Nice! Good job Mick, you got some money there.

Nice going ....love the looks of your country!
Keep hammerin' away!

Nice cats guys. Would love to tag along on a Alaskan line for a couple of days. That would be a bucket list deal for me, just to see interior Alaska at its finest.

We may not have the cat density of some brushy southern states, but we sure have some purdy ones!

Very nice.Congrats

Are those all this years' Mick? Very nice bellies there.

No, most of the put-up fur is from the past couple of seasons. This years cats have been skinned and put in the freezer. Been running pretty hard the past month though, and on track for my best year on cats yet as of now. I shut down the last of my line yesterday with a 4 cat day, one released. I'm on a 3 week hiatus now. I usually shut down for a week from Christmas to New Years as my lines are too far from home to keep running through the holidays. This year my break is two weeks longer as I go in for my next series of lumbar injections early January to keep me going for the remainder of the season. I'll start putting up fur during my shut down though, so never completely out of the game.

Sounds like fun! I've always found that holidays tend to get in the way some of the prime time for trapping. LOL

For sure! I'd throw in birthdays, anniversaries, and other such nonsense too!

Nothing beats time in the great outdoors
