I am looking to build some cage traps for bobcats. Any suggestions on materials? Dimensions? Building tips? I’m mainly using it for a shop project and I also think it would be so cool to trap an animal in a trap I built. My shop teacher does a metal order this Friday, so if you could get back to me with materials before that I’d really appreciate it!

Here's an old video I made. You can adjust the size and such to work as a cat trap...

Have him order some 1" x 1/2" Gaw cage wire

Animals cannot reach in or out - Important - much more rigid

Hers some of my videos, I use horse panel.... mainly because it's easier to get them good wire lol. And can always go back over it with some of the cheaper cage wire you can buy anywhere
