Was wondering what your favorite trap was for bobcats and your set up if you don't mind?

Bruce,
We're off to use more of both of these at a ranch north of Freer, TX starting tomorrow.

I use the MB550OS 2-coil on all cats, and I use waxed dirt if need be.
My favorite set is a walk through where I throw the kitchen sink at them, because all cats are valuable and I don't care to miss them.
Bait - lure - turds - urine - visual are all in the mix.

Blessings,
Mark

Is there anything wrong with regular full closure cast jaw 550's?

Same as Mark here. Offset jaws as required. My wife uses the 450 offsets and they do a good job also.

What length chain on your bobcat sets.
Posted By: YamaCat

Re: Mark June - 01/08/21 02:15 PM

Bruce, we use 99% drags, so our chain length is close to 9’. When I do stake, I’ll attach between 18” and 5’, depending on the situation.

Thanks.Never even dawned on me to use drags as they are now outlawed here in northern Maine.Will have to check regulations in Kansas where I want to trap.

Re: Mark June - 01/08/21 02:36 PM

I enjoy the “thrill of the Hunt” that the drag provides. Small fun lines only !! Sometimes too time consuming for production lines like Mark is running.

To my knowledge, nothing here says you can't. Although, if your trapped animal goes into another property, that landowner can keep you out. It is your right to pursue your catch, but their right supersedes yours.

x2 on the drags- to simplify those walkthru sets Mark uses a lot of guys like me will also use modified DLS traps exposed with the drag as waxed dirt is no longer needed. While I use different gear I do agree with Mark Junes 'throw the kitchen sink at them' approach. I want cats to have a multitude of reasons to step on my pan.

I also like shock springs (this is me getting Mark "Mister 7 cats in a day" riled up!

I think that the MB550 OS is about as good as they come. I have 3 dozen purchased over the last couple of years.

Usually on about 12" of chain and 2 swivels. And earth anchored in about 18" usually.

I picked up 21 of them this year.(all they had in stock.) I'm really liking them. Thay are much easier on feet than my bridger #2dogless. But the bridgers do sit lower and bed just a little easier. Or maybe I just have more experience with them so it seems that way?

Took me a minute to get on TMan as yesterday (and today) are set new traps days on a ranch.

I use the 16" stock super stake chain stakes with 5 links cut off.

I don't care for a full closure as IME they're a tad rougher on the paw blood flow in case I have to release something.

Re: Mark June - 01/09/21 03:13 PM

Do you think Mark you miss any toe caught animals at all with OS? I can see it happening
Posted By: Yes sir

Re: Mark June - 01/09/21 03:27 PM

I dont run offset traps but it doesn't seem like the offset is big enough on most traps that the jaws would contact each other with a bobcat or coyote foot in the trap. If the jaws aren't touching each other wouldn't the jaws be putting the same amount of pressure on the foot ? Also seems like sliding back and forth in the jaws causes more damage than anything, so it would seem the tighter a foot is held the less damage. I read that they prefer traps with teeth on wolves for relocation because a puncture wound cause less damage than the sliding back and forth. At least that's what was written by one biologists involved with wolves wrote.
Posted By: rick olson

Re: Mark June - 01/09/21 03:47 PM

Offset or closed jaws you will always lose a few VERY FEW toe caught animals,the only traps i own that are not offset are 1 1/2 coils and MB 450's for coon ,mink or muskrat trapping.I think you get more damaged from no offset as for the paw sliding back in fourth you will have very little of that if your lock up is good.As for the toothed traps for wolf research the teeth allows the foot not to get as inflamed and drains the paw better,they give the wolves penaciline sp for any infection that might come from the captured animal.Thats my take on it,i know one of the biologist in Montana that does a fair amount of wolf research,they use LPC #7,MB 750's and a few Sterling 800's that was a few years ago.
Posted By: Yes sir

Re: Mark June - 01/09/21 03:53 PM

Thanks for the input Rick. Does the jaws contact each other on most catches with offsets or does the foot normally still hold the jaws from being completely closed?

This is and offset 550 Duke, very similar to the MB, and this cat is held by 2 toes. I have held a fair amount of cats and k-9 the same. My experience is that they don't pull out. I bought all MB 550s a some years ago and wouldn't want to trade them. I bought Duke 550 this year just to try. I bought the MBs on mark june's recommendation. Thanks Mark, great advice as always.

Big coyote day today with the Mrs. scoring a double of dogs herself. I have to jog hard to keep up with her.
Hardest part of this country is everywhere looks about the same and everywhere looks pretty inviting to set traps.
But I learned years ago....
Only set the sign.
Tracks last 1,000 years in this ground.

Donna celebrates her coyote double. We saw one from a distance as I was remaking a set, and when we pulled up close... BINGO, another double.

Re: Mark June - 01/13/21 11:28 AM

When we finished up the line last night around sunset, the Mrs. made a 2-punch set and the spacing/fencing/set up was so well laid out, it just made this old fart soft in the heart. She stood up, I was just smiling and after she put her gear in the buggie, we just gave each other a big old hug in the middle of 7,000 acres with the sun going down, the coyotes singing on the neighboring ranch, the meadowlarks making music as well, and we confirmed to each other then and there we did not meet by any accident at all. We make each other holy, her and I, and that was all an arrangement of the Grandest design. We never forget that as it keeps us bonded and humbled to each other.

I then I told her flat out, I'm having fun taking pics of her catches. Keep it up! Do not stop. laugh

Blessings!

Thanks Bruce. We aren't perfection, that's for sure, but we try and remind each other, when things go a bit sideways, that we are a team in the eyes of our Lord.
We know that our differences make the other stronger for the experience, and not as is too often the case: one is right and the other is wrong.
Where do we get that belief?
Not from ourselves, I can assure you.

South Texas bobcats are known for unique markings and although biologists insist endangered ocelots can't mate with a bobcat, these bobcats resemble that type of progeny.
We call them little leopards.


But all bobcats are nice. Real nice.

Why wouldn't they be able to mate with a bobcat? Is there any biological reason they can't mate and have offspring? Both are of the cat family. Just curious if anyone knows.

Pay up LL. Twas in my set grin
I'm back at seminary in Dallas. Got up at 1:45 am and motored 7 hours north.
Donna checked the line and it was a 5 cat day plus a few coyotes to boot.
We're on a 4.5 cats per day pace these last 26 days but our dandies are all going to private buyers. We're shipping out in coolers like no year previously. I don't know why so many of these cats are dandies this year. Rabbit population is at high tide is my guess.
Almost all male coyotes right now as breeding is commencing.

I sure have a good woman!
I'll motor back down Wednesday around midnight and run the line end of the week and this weekend.
Go-go-go is our Motto!

Looking at those pictures ive no clue how your catching anything, all of your sets are out of location, ahhaha

I STILL haven't caught one of those ocelot looking cats! I can win the award of ugliest cat ever caught though, lol.

Mark do you remember me you and grady where talking at the convention in malvern about how we thought some of your ocelote cats made it up this way? We caught another one this year that was the best looking one so far

Tony,
Wow, how'd I let that one outta Texas!
That's a beauty and they are not common.

I know there's a woman here in south Texas who sells bred ocelot/bobcat kittens.
Maybe some have escaped.
Like pythons grin

That is a pretty cat 87. Why don't y'all let some of those make it further north. Seems to be only rabbit backs up here.
Seeing all those cats have me wanting to set for them but I'm still in the water this year.

JS,

Put your hip boots away, grab some MJ lures, and let's go!
Dry land brother. Dry land.

Blessings,

I have gotten into the live market this year for coyotes. So I will be able to trap later this year not having to worry about fur quality. And I started a new job where I will have 4 days off a week so should work out pritty good

They make it up here but it's a long trip and they loose all their spots on the way north
