The tag will be needed before you can sell it or take it across state lines. As far as Bobcats I have caught them in every type of land set I've ever made but I have learned to love walk thrust.

In the trapping only forum there is a thread titled cat sets and locations that I would recommend for you.

You'll need to get them CITES tagged either at TPW or by a bobcat fur dealer, it is free.
You also have to have the furbearers license to trap them.

We use MB 550 quite a bit for our trapping in Wyoming and they work great on bobcats. Trail sets and cubbies work well for us.
Texas has some beautiful spotted cats but the fur will be lacking compared to western cats or your WI cats.
Lots of folks use snares down there too.


Get some hogs while you're down there!!!

Do I need a license to trap them if it is land that I own.
