How about the available water? Cattle troths? Creek….
Someone out of California, that trapped AZ , told me cats don’t need water.
That the cat can survive from moisture from eating .without water.

Thoughts?

Dang, that was a good demo! For my poor trapping skills, I actually learned a good bit. Wolfie needs to stash that in archives. If I were a blind man, I would swear that accent was Yonkers, NY?

Great video! Twisting the trap into the bed to help it settle was helpful.

Do you ever get freezing conditions? I’ve heard peat is hit or miss for that

Rarely…..20s at night once in a blue moon but a four coiled trap will come through the light crust

North won fair and square, but the freezing temps during season can be a pain

Yes I'm not gonna lie, I am a little bit envious of having enough dirt to drive a stake and not hit rock more often than not.

Free surface water is everywhere here; even in drought. In AZ, not so much the case dependent on the year and timing.

I've watched cats drink free surface water, so I don't know if they need it for survival, but they dang sure utilize it. I would think that a nursing mother would most definitely need free surface water.

I have seen them lick wet rocks.
AZ is full of water . I was surprised.
Lakes, rivers.
Cattle tanks , elk tanks.
Usually snow in the north, canals everywhere.
