If anyone hasn’t gotten their hands on it yet, Tracy Truman just put out a book on cat trapping. It’s the single best source on trapping cats ever put together. From scouting, to locating, to catching, you name it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just another book with a guy’s opinion, it’s going to change the way many people think about trapping even coyotes.

He definitely knows cats

He seems to do OK for a left handed Vegas lawyer. What's the name of the book and where is it available?

Contact him directly. I’m not aware of it being available anywhere else.

How does a person go about making contact with this guy?

Thanks for the heads up. I did not know he wrote a bobcat book. Cool Beans.
I have his gray fox book and DVD.

Wow John, thanks for the kind words. I don't know if I can live up to any of that, but Momma always said, "Don't disagree with a Marine that's 6" taller than you are."

Actually, the book is 107 pages (8 1/2 X 11") and has almost 100 color and B&W photos. There is also a bibliography with references to articles, scientific studies and whatnot that will round out even more bobcat information. I have included the lure formulas that I use, and that many of my friends have used to take a pile of cats.

You can get the book from one of four sources:

1. John Graham's Fur Country Lures
2. MTP
3. F&T
4. Me. Send me a PM or an email (tjamestruman@gmail.com) and I'll be happy to help you out, or you can get it from one of the three retailers who were brave enough to stick their necks out and agree to sell it.

Thanks for your interest.

If it's as well written and put together as the grey fox book...then it's a good'un!

I recently bought Tracy's book, and so far, I'm only about halfway through it. It's extremely well written and very easy to understand. After watching his demo at Coyote Days this year, I knew the book was bound to be great. And it is, to say the least.

Does it contain info on rainforest coastal Oregon trapping?

^^^^i would certainly be interested in picking up one of his books ^^^^

There is a special chapter on trapping the Nevada rain forest. Glad you asked.

I just went to all three of the retailers you listed and didn't see a book about bobcat trapping written by Tracy Truman. Unless there is some special place they are listing your book, it ain't there.

It might be useful to know the name of the book, I might add.
