Any information about baiting and setup would be greatly appreciated.I have excess of 25-06 hornady 75 grainers.Want to start off at about 300 yds.

I would never be this cruel, but my grandmother (God rest her soul) used the following technique:

Live trap.
Hang by its tail in a gentle breeze.
Shoot off limbs, then tail.
Wait for coyote.
Be sure of your backstop.

So you have to live trap them.I was more interested in free range shooting.Would tuna fish cans work.I have a backstop.

Have plenty of feral in south Ga,just a little squeamish at close range.New to the sport.

Start reading the old posts from months back. This is a veritable Encylopedia on crat-whakin. Tuna seems okay, as does any fish based canned cat food. The tuna crat food is quite smelly...

jeep,

Sardines work great for bait. and a well placed shot at 300yds will produce some great catarobics. I haven't used a 2506 but that should work nicely.

Live trap a femail in heat .
Set her in a old bird cage on a fence post up wind of the target area .

Within 2 hour every tom in range will have smelled her and come to the bait .

I try to hit 3 areas a night before she goes out of heat 2 - 3 nights

Then she is Yote bait

Spring planting of a catnip patch is considered acceptable practice for attracting wildlife. Excess plants may be harvested at maturity and used as necessary around the neighborhood in your favorite spots. No annoying tuna smells to detract from your summer barbecues and schuetzenfests.

Crats don't go out of heat until they are impregnated! derf

And that is why we don't have to leave many for "seed"!

Excelent suggestions ,will trap feline in heat and shoot Toms freerange.Would tuna in the birdcage help or detract?

Our Vet said not to give too much Tuna to our cats as it becomes addictive. That help any??!! derf

The cats in my yard that like Tuna Suprise Dinner don't live long enough to get addicted.

I have found that crats fare no better from tuna in a live trap than they do with the swimming lessons that sometimes follow. Both are short courses.
