Here in New Mexico, we're able to keep as many as we catch! Moved out here after the military and boy was it a learning curve. Grew up trapping back east in Mississippi, and a cats a cat but how they go about being a cat is different (if that makes any sense). Your "cave" sets really opened my eyes up. I was tracking creek bottoms and ridges and I was walking by many a cat! Thank-you sir!

The way you read the terrain and available pinch points is almost EXACTLY the way my Grandfather taught me. It was so enjoyable watching your video. I have been trapping period for close to 30 years now and this whole u tube thing is still new to me. Thanks for the great video.

Awsome cat trapping filled your tags quick, beautiful cats. Noticed you didn't use any kind of flagging either. When you set at them toilets are ur traps set right in the scat area?

@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790

Thank you. Great questions. I used flagging on 4 out of about 30 sets this year. I’m not against it at all, but I try to get the sets in where I know the cat is already walking. As far as the toilets, yes. I make a t-bone set right in the middle, or the edge of all the scat. The bone is great eye appeal, and it really doesn’t matter what type of lure I use at that point, they love to check out the bone. I appreciate the comment!

In the first set you show, what is all that tiny little scat?

Thanks for the question. The principle of these sets definitely would anywhere. If I concentrate more on trying to get my trap under where the animal naturally travels, the set/lure becomes secondary. I would make these same sets no matter where I trapped in the nation, but I may have to adapt to specific terrain, ground conditions, weather conditions, or population. I hope this helps!

Thank you! Yeah Ben it would definitely work for a coon. I’ve caught several this season with these same traps, but If I was setting specifically for raccoons I would use something smaller. This #2 square jaw allows them to get their full mouth under the jaws to chew on their foot. I haven’t lost one yet that way, but if I was specifically targeting raccoons I’d use a dp, or a #1-1/2 coil spring. Great question. Thanks for the interaction.
