I've been thinking about getting some bobcat live traps, I looked online and didn't realize there were so many brands. What do you folks recommend?
Thanks

Comstock makes really good traps. I haven’t tried his.
Probably the best constructed would be briar patch if there’s still being built away, Bob had designed them
Cam trips Great traps.

Is Bob still alive?

Yes, he is back to being a cactus farmer…
Or he was as of little bit agp.

John's traps are bulletproof, but nobody has the trigger system that the Camtrip cages have. Top notch in my book.

Any opinions on this cat trap?

That pan seems to make sense to me, but I'm no cage user for bobcats.

N B Cat Collector is an excellent trap .
I used them to catch bobcats for the state to do a study .
That pan system is a very good design .

Thanks.

… I use Bridger dogless …. Much cheaper and them wildcats are always plenty alive when I pull up lol

John's traps are now called Griz Cages out of Palmyra, NE. He has a website

Griz cages are made by my fur buyer, Kevin jones in Palmyra, NE, and he is also our Nebraska fur harvesters president. Solid cages, makes a few different models including a set of cat cages that nest inside each other for easy storage and transport.
Jim

Yes he bought the business

Kevin Jones phone number is 402-432-4448.

John sent me a bobcat cage to test that had a swing door that retracted into the cage. Like a garage door.
Cool trap for concealment.
Trigger was good.
Built bulletproof like all the rest he made.
The slide rails needed to be maintained periodically.
Don’t know if that cage is still manufactured.

John also had a wide bobcat trap ( maybe 12” x 15”) that doubles as a live otter trap.
I would try to set those up a bit so the cat entered at a slight incline.
Swing door traps have been easer for me to keep working in heavy snow for all species.

Mercer Lawing still in business. I got a few from him and are great cages never had any issues. I beleive Caging Bobcats is his facebook or website.

Schroeder now Griz cages are great! Kevin is a great guy also!!!

Kevin will be at the WSTA convention in Buffalo, WY june 19th and 20th
