Some of us are limited to only trapping with confinement traps (cage traps). This is part of this year's catch so far. Not all the bobcats pictures below were taken. Small females and males were released unharmed.

Released- cute little kitty

Those are some cool pics. That coyote looks very thin. But some real cool pics of that cats!

had a trapper at my 11 year olds hunter safety class tell me bobcat meat was some of the best meat he has ever eaten.i wanted to put that to the test but cancer kept me out of the woods most of the season

Hyper..Cool pics and lots of cats..Just wondering what kind of traps your using, can't see the doors..are they straight drop or hinged..Also, can you share how you are baiting..Thanks..

Those are great pics

There is dirt on the bottom.
Did you sprinkle that in there, or did the captive animals dig it up through the bars?

I have a couple traps like that, and I am trapping raccoons.
There are no coyotes or bobcats where I live.

Awesome pics

nice pics--should help the quail population if you're lucky to have any.--dennis

I have been trying to get Michigan to allow live traps for years. It would to be great for cats ,fisher and martin here.
After a cat gets caught in a 330 conibear CPR just doesn't work.

Cool Pics!

Judging from all the feathers I'm assuming you are using birds as bait. What kind and alive or dead?

That yote sure looks embarrassed!

Thanks for sharing your pics...always wanted to catch a cat in a cage but never have.

did you build your own traps or are those purchased. If purchased, what brand are they?

Looks more like he is begging for mercy

That yote looks like he was after the roadrunner. But seriously what are you using for bait? I am wanting to try and trap some cats any tips would be great. THanks

Awesome pics! I would like to know as well what you are using for bait.

I'd pay money to see the explosion when the door shuts on one of those cats.

Nicely done! My health has prevented me from trapping for several years now, but catching'cats and coyotes was one of my passions. I never tried cage-type traps, though.

Thanks for sharing the photos...

Sorry to hear abt the ca and hope you are getting well.

I hate coyotes, and I LOVE calling/kiiling them but I dont think I could kill one like that. He looks too much like my yellow lab begging not to get whooped when he has misbehaved in that picture!

OTOH, the kitties look really cool.... On the back of the truck!

Most likely the feathers were not from live bait. Lots of bobcat trappers use them as a visual lure.

Love the pictures and I think the coyote looks ashamed of himself.
