well you are not going to catch a coyote in a live trap. Bobcats should be know problem. Lots of ground duff in the bottom of the cage, flag in the back, some kind of call lure and lots of cat urine. Put this in a catty spot and hope for the best.

Planning to use one to try to catch some badger as soon as I get time to get things all worked out. Willing to bet I end up with fox more than badger, but we shall see....hope not....would rather dig to my dogs on the fox........

ok I stand corrected, I got this from Mark Zepp.

JPO and Cal -

Thought you guys would enjoy this one. The third one this year in a box trap next to the house. The first two chewed out of a poorly made trap three times the size of this particular trap. Eddie had a handful of these and I borrowed a couple. Caught on one of Wyatt's leftover meatball sandwiches and a couple of chunks of leftover ribeye. Haven't seen that "recipe" in the books before.

I could foot trap and snare 50 a year within 50 yards of the house.

Hope you guys are well - Z

Mark Zepp is the individual who caught that coyote in the cage trap!! To catch a coyote in a cage trap is one hell of an accomplishment that you wont see very often!!!!
