What is the best live trap for bobcat? My brother lives in AZ and that's all they can use. Im going to send him a recommendation.

I believe the ones I have were made by "cage maker" on here. Dead Coyote was the one that hooked me up. There is a set of 3 that all stack inside each other. They weren't cheap but they are definitely quality and will last longer than I will.

If you're talking about cage traps, contact Brian at Manawa, Wi based Little Wolf Trapping Supply. His are top notch.

Try getting ahold of Mercer Lawing and give his Camtrip cages a try. He also frequents AZ some of the time so you might be able to hook up and skip the Shipping charges.

Wow those Mercer Camtrip cage traps look nice! Any advantage / disadvantage to them over making a home made cubby set & using a couple footholds?

For me it is the release factor. I know they are not as hard to release as a wolf or some other animals but it sure is nice to just lift the door and let young or unwanted females run off. They leave good scent behind for future catches as well.

I also have a few cages from Mercer. I have nothing but good to say about them. Like osky said, easy release and well built are two reason I like them.

I have Mercer's cages and they are a great cage, no doubt, but I have to throttle down the opening height (13 inches) to accommodate our lynx laws. I think it would be the rare cat willing to go that low. I'm using them for fisher.

I have several cubbies out with footholds and I don't feel hindered one bit.
