Anyone used the Wyldwing Enticers? I’ve used them in the past when they were larger but these little ones are THE TICKET! I’ve got 2 dozen out now and they spin like little tornadoes if there is a breeze. I can see them clearly from as far as I can see something that small as they immediately catch my eye.

Fantastic product every cat trapper should have in their toolbox. I see people all the time talk about trying to catch cats. Eye attractors are at the top of the list and I can’t think of a better eye attractor.

More to follow.

I’ve found the large ones are too big for my wind. I can’t keep them out of the tree even with a weight and wire.

I don't have any of the Enticers or the Jr's
But I do use visual attractors on some of my sets.
Chicken feathers, duck & goose wings if my waterfowl hunting friends save any for me and definitely some Christmas decorations. It don't take a lot to catch the eyes of a bobcat and pull them into the vicinity of your set.

Apologies for my mug being in the pic again, couldn't make it edit worth a dang without me in the pic.

Rags, nice pics. I wish I could post a video on here of some wyldwing action. Great product when used with a fishing swivel.

I’ll see if I can get some pics tomorrow.

I’ve never had a bird mess with one. Birds have far too good eyesight to mess with one in my opinion.

I usually use a piece of tin foil tied with a turkey feather. Tied to a branch with swivel in the string.

Yote, Minnesota Trapline has them. They're in the Visual Attractors section, under Attractants. They have several different styles.

Never used anything but a flat set. Think I watched a matt jones video when I was a kid and it was going to rain so he turned all his dirt holes into flat sets. I'm not a Smart man but I just started turnen all my sets to flat sets and catch percentage went up and everyone was happy.

If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

John I carry one of those little assorted packs of split shot that you get in the Walmart fishing section. Depending how open the area is determines the size of weight I use. I've never liked string on my flags. I usually use the floral wire with a fishing swivel at the Enticer.

I use words of old cassette tape.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

My early cat trapping years I worked with some flagging. Found out over the years that it wasnt needed to catch lots of cats. Attracted too much unwanted attention that I didn't want, so i stopped the use of flagging. If you got good locations, sets and odor that will work just fine in my experience.

If you have cats, nothing. If you have a stubborn cat, a gaudy dirt hole or a flat set with a turd.

I’ve been using the Wyldwings for several years. They seem to work. I really like them when using cages. I have some of the originals I guess. One type has a turkey feather, the other is a chukar pattern (maybe). They last forever, take tons of weather abuse. I use a fishing swivel on mine. Good product.


I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!
