I think the easiet way to catch bobcats is in a box trap. It doesn't have to be really big. I've caught some 24 pounders in 10X10X30 box traps. I like to wire duck a duck carcas in the back of the trap and use some lure like Milligan's Cat-Man-Do on a stick hanging down into the trap near the duck. Pile brush around the trap but make sure that it doesn't interfere with the door closing. Use some of the duck feathers to hang in the brush for blowing around and getting the cats attention. If you don't want to mess with coons and possums and skunks, trap when it is extremely cold outside. The cats will be moving but everything else holes up. Hope this helps. Good luck. Lonnie
