What do you do, what do you look for in a set location, how critical is it to use brush to hide the snare?

Any help would be appreciated.


Dog Hunter, I appreciate you asking, but I am a rank amateur when it comes to cat trapping and snaring.. In my limited experience, the sets that have caught cats have been crowded in with sage, cedar boughs, etc.. They haven't seemed to mind poking their head through tight spaces. Now, my brother and I have only caught a handful of cats, I'm sure Don or FieldGrade could help you out much more than I can.
