bobcat set

put a bobcat set on leaning tree this set I have use an had great results with thought maybe this could help some one
first I take a deer or beaver carcass and tie or wire to tree
then cover it with branches so it cant be eaten from top by birds ,but can be seen from ground

this is what the cat see

MEAT!!!!!

with a one cat limit (or two if private land) you cant spread many around?

Looking good- I bet the Fisher's like it also

It that a 330?

yes 330 4 foot off of ground

yes with a limit of two you can't put out to many we make it a family event the wife an my daughter trap with me so its fun to see who gets first one I let daughter pick which set she thinks will get first cat then the wife make for a great day in woods

The only problem I see with the leaning tree set is you keep what you get. If I make 3 foothold sets and 2 connect I can choose which one to meet and which to let go or if I choose I can relate both. I like the set though.

Here in the Lower peninsula as a trapper we have a 11 day opener, Dec.10-20.

So if you catch anything, keep it.

But if you want to run your dogs, you have a whole month and catch 2 in the U.P..

No dog guys have two months in LP it’s pretty ridiculous

In units C,D,E,AND F are limited to foothold traps only.

Original poster is in UP though.

Cats are completely ignoring my baited sets. I have beaver and coon carcasses along with deer but it doesn't seem to interest them at all. Too many grouse and hare to choose from I suspect.

Posco why don’t you set blind trail sets for them.

I put a two trap set out yesterday. Seems like almost every day I find a new track where I haven't seen one before. From what I've seen, I don't think cats are the slave to habit they're made out to be.

Did not know where in Michigan he was from. But some people don't read the rules so they might think they can do what's posted in the whole state.

The UP has lots of better laws than the LP and to think all the tax money goes to the same place. If I could move it would be to the UP its great up there, Larry

A bobcat may go up a tree to get to a bait but I would not count on it. That set would be illegal in my area. That said, if you have to elevate the set to be legal so be it.

People catch cats here every year in MI in similar sets in the UP. I don’t use them as I don’t trap up there but it does and will work fine for cats.

Tried out this set and connected in 5 days! I like it!

Heck ya man! That awesome! Im gonna look into the regs and see if I could make one of these. Thats awesome that you connected with it!

well cat came by an found set but jump up in stead of going up tree that happen some times I put deer back up an fix where cat got up should have him in day or two

Time for a landscape spike!

Not allowed here with bigger than a 220, if it was Is try it!

Well Dahlgren, had another hanger this morning. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing the set. Might be my new favourite cat set.

Very nice! Cats won't hit my cubby baits. Beaver, coon and deer meat...nada. I can't bait suspended but I don't know if it would make a difference.

wtg nova 1 glad it help

It seems like people on here are having better luck with walk through cat sets.?

Most critters would rather have walk through sets.
