That one came from a natural cubbie, an exposed tree root with a trail right along side it, Bait under the roots, scent on the top of the roots and the trap in front with some guide sticks so the only place for the cat to put it's foot is on the trap. Dirt holes work, the most important thing is LOCATION, cats won't move very far from their travel route to investigat a scent.

i can't see in the pictures, but do you use more or less springs for bobcats? some people say they use a 4 coil for bobs,because they pull harder when tryingto get out, and just a 2 coil springs for yotes. i've also heard the oposite. What do u prefer? thanks

All my traps are 4 coiled MB650's, with the offset jaws. They are fast, easy to set and I don't have any trouble with foot damage with them. They are over kill on fox but all my sets are K9 sets and I can catch either fox or coyotes in them. they are a super bobcat trap too.

Good job and nice pictures. Sounds like the 650 is a good all purpose trap for you. The MB 750 beaver traps are good, too. If they snap, there's something waiting the next day.
