Wow…I knew you have some monsters up there…that’s huge

I didn’t sell him..I froze whole and sent him to a taxidermist. I’m going to get a full mount made of him. Really cool animal. I’m excited

Mine too…ok so I know what was your name?

@@trappingspots Brian. I was wearing the bright blue hoodie and jeans

@Brian-rr3nj I don’t even remember what I was wearing at the sale🤣. Black hat and glasses right?

@@trappingspots yes. I didn't know we shared the same profession

@@Brian-rr3nj Contracting

Thank you very much…I think this one will be a good money maker..

I harvest the animals I want to take and let go the ones that are young and some females…I don’t kill to kill. Most of the animal is used. Animals are a green renewable resource…I won’t even get into the wildlife management part…the ones I take are not nuisance animals..doesn’t matter: pigs, coyotes, skunks, bobcats…. The worst things that we can do to animals is failed to manage them in this day and age. But the fact that you say you don’t harm anything is baloney. Everything we do from drinking coffee, going to work driving our car affects wildlife in someway down the line. And if you truly raise cows and chickens the bobcat is no different. A cow is a beautiful creature along with all the others and you’ll slaughter it and eat it. You’re doing the same thing I am.

@@trappingspotsI didn't know the animal was actually being used , so forgive me. I was under the impression it was for trophy only, which is a different ballgame entirely. Yes I do live on a farm and also lease other properties for rotation purposes. Used to deal with pigs and hogs but they weren't worth the hassle and stink, so we got rid of them. I just have a love of animals, almost to a fault. But I agree with your explanation, which you didn't owe me. Take care

@@chadmiller2224 no problem…I apologize if I came off harsh. I deal with a lot of anti- type of people who really don’t have the animals best interest at heart…the original video was to help other trappers be able to humanely dispatch a bobcat..but all good

I use Camtrip Cages. Mercer Lawing out of California makes them. cagingbobcats.com

You’re correct they are invasive and a nuisance…but can’t show dispatching on here…

I harvested it…it’s going to be full mounted..

@@trappingspots poor thing, but if you’re actually gonna use it and not simply kill it for no reason, then I guess that’s okay.

Because I’m in Arizona I don’t use bait. I used to use jackrabbit but it goes bad to quickly. I mainly use gland and call lure. Urine, scat and visual attractors

Thank you. Even though I was really angry I understand that you get better results by being nice. Doesn’t always work out but a good way to start.

That was confronting. I was videoing just in case I needed evidence for the Game And Fish officer. The guy was not confrontational, but I had my 9 mm on my hip anyways for safety not every confrontation will be physical and yelling etc. I was waiting for him to deny everything and he didn’t, he admitted guilt and gave me my trap back.

Thanks. Me too

Thanks for subscribing. I appreciate it. I’m still on FB. Post mostly on there.

Thx Mark

I would but I run like 40+ cages for only 11 days so that’s a lot of extra work. If I had less cages and was there longer than definitely, I would do that.

I got the trap back a little dented up but I can fix it for some reason my camera wasn’t working so I just grabbed a steel shot so I think I’ll just post the picture when I post it on FB

@trappingspots Good deal man it probably got bent up a little bit by the bucket, but we know how much power is behind the hydraulic bucket. You can't do much, but at least the dude was a good dude

@@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors I agree

Sweet. Very nice. Keep on them. Congrats

Yup exactly

Thanks Bryan. Glad to help and that ain’t too bad for a beginner so keep at it and keep making your sets and lines better and better and you’ll be successful.

@@trappingspots yeah, I know there a learning curve. I got miffed a few days ago when I found someone had thrown a rock in my cage setting it off. At least they didn't destroy or steal it

@@Brian-rr3nj yeah, that’s definitely better than being stolen.

A guy named Otis Latham out of Colorado makes cat stretchers. Doesn’t have a website. He’s on Facebook under O.D. Latham. Great guy.

And I appreciate your point of view because I agree with it. I definitely do not want to kill them all I love seeing them in the wild and not just catching and dispatching. Some populations need to be controlled to overpopulation which causes disease, distemper, etc.. and I also like just to take pictures and release as well. It’s a part of being in the outdoors.

Thank you.

I think so too

They are 8”, 9”, 10”, 11” wide. 18-21” tall and 36” deep

Camtrip Cages..by Mercer Lawing

Absolutely.

That’s a pretty neat story…I’ve caught doubles on skunks once and racoons twice…. Cool experience

Ya we all have done the backwards door thing…😂 You live and learn. Since Arizona’s weather is mild, I only put plastic over if there’s rain or snow in the forecast.

@@trappingspots Thanks. I had been covering every trap.

Thank you

Thanks buddy

I leave my line out for about 11 days. That gives me a couple days to get all of them out and then a couple days to pick them up wash them and get ready for the next line. They say cats may not come back through an area for at least 14 days. I run about 30-40 cages typically. I have developed these lines over many years…yes some traps are off highways and traveled roads and some way out… cats will hang out near urban areas as much as in the wilderness… just make sure you follow all regulations and you’ll be good

@@trappingspots Thank you for the info and encouragement. I was getting pretty discouraged. I'm only running 8 camtrip cages as that's all I could afford for now. I just set out a cage fairly close to the 74 between Morristown and Lake Pleasant where I found a toilet. Hopefully it'll pan out for me. Do you ever build your own cages? We met at the trapper class last May. I was the one who asked you how many cats you catch during a season if you remember. God bless

@@Brian-rr3nj oh ya…. Don’t get discouraged. I think you’re in a good area I used to trap a small section of private land on the 74 and caught several cats in there. I don’t build my cages I just rather buy them from Mercer if I need them.

@@trappingspots those cages are awesome. I'm a police officer and just got off shift. I got home and was getting out of uniform and my wife and son came and told me there was a Bobcat next to out chicken coop. I went out to find it on the roof of my run. He jumped on my roof and of into the darkness. We went back inside. About 5 minutes later it was back trying to reclaim the chicken it killed. It ran to my neighbor's front driveway and sat there. I set one of my cages and threw that dead chicken in there along with a Squeaker box. Went back inside and 5 minutes later.....bingo

@@Brian-rr3nj Holy cow that’s fast….sounds like he wasn’t too scared of humans…and really wanted those chickens….cats are easy to catch but finding them sometimes it’s kind of hard. Nice work.

Thanks buddy
