Hi floydtn

You'll be lucky to get a coyote to enter a cage trap, but bobcats aren't cage shy at all.

Use fresh bait, and change often, especially in warmer weather. Beaver works great. Make sure your trigger set is pretty tight to avoid catching rats or other unwanted animals. There are a few companies that sell good gland-based lures. Mark June and Jim Halseth are great, try them online. Turkey, quail, and other wild bird feathers are great attractors. I also use cut-out tin triangles from coffee cans, attach them to some fishing line and hang from a nearby tree.

Don't forget to cover your traps, making a cubby.
