Hey Ed. Plenty of good advice here. I have caught several cats with my Victor #1 3\4, but if you're buying go with Field Grade's advice. As FG said, they aren't that smart. Left-over fried chicken bones work. I buy my lure from Wayne Derrick Lures out of NM. I'd like a look at those Newhouse, Tx. Trappers Assn. Rendevous is in Brownwood now. Long ways for you. Good Luck!

#2 and up coils are fine. Wing on a string to attract them, or a CD hanging even though I like wings....

Sticks to guide and guide their step. They are not smart.

Lure as noted.

Box or live traps work fine too, I brush mine in a bit or up under a cedar or such and some more cover. They don't mind going in box traps.

I'd not use a killer trap due to domestic animals personally.

We have em here at home too, they'll eat a lot of things, have a pic off the game camera this year one carrying a squirrel. Don't hurt much unless numbers are up.

But they are simple to catch compared to yotes for me anyway.


We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Mike, You forget where I'm from. I've driven farther than that for a beer and a game of 8 ball. grin I've not been to a Trappers Rendezvous. Sounds like a cool place to learn some stuff.

I've been offline bird hunting in KS for a bit. Back home now and will dig those traps out. I'll take some pics and post them for comment/advice.

Thanks again to all for your wisdom. The cat is still here and still needs killin'.

Ed

Bob Cats are easy to catch in a live trap. You need one with a partition or false room in the back. A live white chicken works best.

Here is the trick. Place brush on all three sides and the top. The cat will run right down the tunnel to get the chicken.

My favorite trap is a BMI K-9 wolfer. It is a #2 with forged offset jaws and four springs. BMI is a small family business here in the good ol US. I use them for cats and coyotes.

I always favored Montgomery #3 coils when I trapped cat and coyote. Trail sets with guide sticks or dirt holes. Looking forward to doing some more when I retire soon.
PS> FieldGrade that is one nice Tom in that first picture unless you are only 4ft tall!
