Bobcat live trap? with bait box

Anyone make a live trap with bait box for totes or cats?

If you do this, please take video.

You will go through a whole bunch of coons before you get a cat in a trap. Call in and shot with a tranquilizer dart may be the best bet if you want to try and rehabilitate a bob.

Tomahawk (sp) makes it as an option on their large trap.

Not sure the brand but a friend had one in the early 90s that the first night we had it set with a rooster for bait, caught a large tom bobcat.

...and post the video here.....

My buddy called me today and asked if I wanted to trap a bobcat living under his house. I said sure, may I use your dog for bait... Seriously.

Yup - trap was 18 x 24 ; bait box 8 x 8 - works great - 2 cats so far.
filled 'box' with 20 chickens; (measurements are in FEET)

Here is a video I saw awhile back. It's a young woman the works for TPWD and she live traps bobcats for research.

Seen them on cl. 300 bucks if I remember right.

cool video

I met a fur trapper in Wyoming who said he would occasionally catch a live bobcat in one of his traps. He claimed he would have to hold the bobcat down while opening the trap to release it. I told him he was a tougher man than me.

Bobcats are pretty easy to catch in a live trap, just use a large trap and live rats in a small live trap and some bobcat gland lure.

This is my old trap haven't used it in a long time used to put a chicken in it and caught a ton of coons possums and
3 bobcats

How did you set up the trip for the door?

The total catch is always a small % of cats, lots of coons and opossums

This trap has a raised piece of cage so when the animal steps on it it triggers the release latch on top If that makes any sense

Had a cat on camera 2 nights in a row. Borrowed a trap live trap and a from a guy the following day. Had it set for almost a month and only caught 2 coons. Haven't seen the cat since.

Trapper said he would pay $150 for the cat hide.
