I have a bobcat on my property and I have seen him one area several times. I just want to get him coming to this spot more regularly. Does anyone know of any tricks or tips to use for bait to get this guy in?

Beaver Meat is the #1 bait for bobcats, reason being is beaver are a bobcats favorite meal. But beaver meat isnt the best thing for this time of year because it will rot before it can do any good and you will have possums everywhere.
Now the #1 lure for bobcats is beaver castor. Beaver castor is a beaver gland that they use to mark their territory. If aged it has a sweet smell, but fresh its real loud and purfumy smelling. In fact its even used in ladies perfume.
Now the beaver castor has a curiosity food factor to it that the bobcat just cant pass up.
Beaver castor can be gotten from almost any trappers supply store and their are also many different commercially used baits in the trapping industry.
F&T's Fur Harvesters Trading Post will be the best place for you to go get these Items

Here is the link to a commercially made beaver lure that works great on bobcats, its made for beaver but the base of it is beaver castor so that is why it works.

I have trapped many bobcats and it definitely seems beaver is a popular bait for them.
