    Great video. I personally would love to see you produce a detailed video on how to set steel for Bobcats

    Depends on the population in Michigan they have been almost trapped out from the 80s and are just now starting to come back in some parts of the state I would love to see them back beautiful animals

    Here in PA we are only allowed one bobcat per year whether shot or trapped. We also need to have an extra license just to trap or shoot one.

    great video as always grant you are very informative just have one suggestion I know the bobcat head was propped up by the trap in the one pic but it looks like it was caught in the trap by the neck maybe show it a different way so haters don't freak out keep up the good work its a pleasure to have someone who is knowledgeable and don't have the ego that is so prevalent in today's industry

    too many anti's here in my state, no bobcat trapping allowed, so if you catch one in a trap you gotta call the warden and they take it away.... doesnt stop them from being trapped but it saves the antis feefees from being hurt 🤦‍♂

    There is a ton of bobcats here in my part of MO. I see one about every time I am hunting and any cameras I put into woods get lots of pictures of bobcats. Way more of them than coyotes now, but I think the coyotes are starting to make a come back.

    Any advice on suburban trapping? We have a skinny gross one that keeps trying to get our chickens, and I am 100% of of patience for it! It needs to be permanently eliminated.

      Heather - Live traps work great! If trying to get a bobat, be sure and cover the bottom of the trap with leaves, grass, etc., as they like to walk on natural surfaces. Live traps allow non target critters to be released. Checkout DukeTraps. com

      @GrowingDeerTV I have one that's sized for foxes, is that big enough? Or do I need to bump up?

    Great video Grant! Always enjoy them! I’ve been an avid Georgia turkey hunter for 40 years and have seen the population go way down. I started trapping a year ago and have caught about 80 critters so far. Hopefully I’ll see some rebound in the turkeys soon. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and time. ATB, Joe

    Great video Grant we no longer have guys hunting raccoons with dogs any in our rural area due to farms turning into subdivisions, everyone has a pet raccoon,also feral cats and loose running dogs so have to use live traps, thanks Grant for video very informative

    Trapping is a great tool to manage the predator .been trapping for 50+years with prices down on the fur is why most quit trapping resulting in a population boom on predator.leading to less turkey an small game

    As a trapper myself, I appreciate this video. I made a video on my channel expressing the population density of predators. The results were astonishing. Especially the coyote population density.

    I made a stew with racoon and bobcat and ate it and fed it to my grandson .I called it trapper's stew .He liked it as well .Bobcat meat is very lean .

    I'm really not concerned about predator management in terms of fawn mortality. There's plenty of good reasons to manage predators but usually when I see someone talking about this they are just wrong about a whole bunch of stuff and waste of bunch of their/other peoples' time and effort because they simply don't understand the principles of natural science and statistics etc.
    If North America was say under very different circumstances or perhaps in select cases it would make sense for one to be concerned about predator populations as they pertain to healthy herd sizes. But the deer herds are larger than ever and there has never been more second growth forest in history since we are past peak timber.
    This is the same kind of thinking as the people who say you can just buy chickens to combat the ticks in your yard. The predation model is bogus - chickens possums whatever you want - will only increase the carrying capacity for ticks more than they manage the population. What impacts the tick populations the MOST by FAR is habitat. It simply comes down to understanding the laws of nature
    The old predation model comes from when humans had a much more simplistic and primitive understanding of what actually goes on in the wilderness and how nature actually works

      To say chickens and other fowl don't eat ticks - you lost me.

      @@GrowingDeerTV they -will- eat ticks, especially in a white control room with nothing else to eat. But in a natural setting any living biomass will feed more ticks than it can eat. What makes the biggest difference on tick population with livestock is the habitat changes usually made for the livestock. Energy in habitat is the biggest population driver over interspecies interaction! tyvm
