Yes, the thought of luring in a mature cat stuck with me from a previous post. Definitely some younger cats around our property, so I’d like to avoid them next season. I’ll be very interested to hear if this works.

So far the old Bushnell SD cams have kept the yotes out of the cubbies “so far” will see if that holds up. I put them on the 2 cubbies they were hammering constantly last night nothing was hit.

Big winds coming the next couple days I’ll need to turn down the cams to an hour between triggers until this passes or I’ll rack up a bunch of false triggers.

Pretty kitty!

Thanks!

Just in this one looks like a better cat than the last one it must of moved after the front went through. Looks like a lion color in this photo.

Cool!

looks good size

Law dog how were your roads yesterday? Saw the high winds and snow causing issues north of us.

Thanks. A nice post to fallow along with. Great pictures. Yep, thinning those coyotes out will make it easier for your cats to move around. You sure are putting the time it on them. Good luck !!

Very pretty and good photo presentation! I’m happy for you!

Well, you are most definitely in a good spot. I have no doubt when you set the steel you will be in the money.

I would set that forked tree in the right background personally, with a trap on either side of the fork on drags, with a call lure up high and a cat rub lure in the V of the tree. Done deal.

Most of the blowing snow missed us compared to other areas north and northeast of us that will get more of the bad weather then we do, that wind yesterday made the snow and most of the ice disappear pretty quickly. The wind is one big PITA depending on where it’s out of if we had a few inches combined it becomes blizzard conditions often with not much snow.

The wind can shake things up if it’s blowing up my cat draws but little to nothing if blows over them from the side angles. The cat country shown has higher walls some well over 100 feet high that’s impassable not even a cattle trail. No roads in most areas for a few miles the creek is my best travel route to get in there a ways but even that’s rough but it’s flatter. The county I’m in for cats I consider the banana belt of the State not far from Nebraska known for deer and cats I was blessed to get in this spot several years ago.

That’s where the barrel was last year and I caught a cat there but I moved it to this spot for the camera coverage but then lost the back of the barrel view. I might just put it back when I set it. I’m getting a lot of false triggers with that snag branches blowing around and I’ll get both ends covered at the same time.

I will dress up the cubbies when I set them up with more brush and guide sticks I’m just trying to get them interested in the baits now. The main trail is just to the right of the barrel directly to the right of that not much further is a ridge wall the funnels them down this cubby trail.

Past years in that same spot you pointed out I’ll probably move it back there since the cam angles not very good. Thanks

We had “ride along threads” on the old London Lure page but it’s not something you can walk away from mid season so it’s a commitment once you get started.

Thinking of putting visible flags on wire (utility type) to indicate if I have a catch but the camera missed it. I’ll just work them into the drags or chains maybe.
