I don't. I want to learn though. With work and all, I would have to check everyday down here with snares and that would cost to much in fuel and time. My line is a little over a 100 miles round trip.

Yes with fuel prices at over $3 per gallon that'll be expensive, especially with that long of a line. Are those all Nevada critters? Great looking pelts. I noticed on FFG that cats are really breaking the bank this year. It is great to see fur rebounding a bit.

What is your favorite set for bobcat? what about coyotes?

Thanks again for taking the time to post those photo.

I might have to give cages a try. Does he use them for fox and yotes too?Nice to see someone still using longsprings. Are those longsprings #3? I had pretty much switched over to coilsprings for dry land and conibers for water.
He catches lots of fox, not to many Coyotes. I think they let you use snares though, because they are usually quick kills. I love Longsprings for Nevada type of terrain. Walk throughs are king with cats and is my favorite set. #3's are all that I use. I do use coils also and like them too.

This is how I do my walk throughs for the most part.

Great looking set. I called CDOW the other year to ask about snares and conibers and they said No! I told them the law said legholds but they stuck with their answer. Many of our creek are loaded with beaver and mink. The beaver are taking over in many areas. I knew cage traps would work well for coon and bobcats, it's good to hear that he catches fox with them. If I could use snares, I'd be in business as there's places all over to catch coyotes. I'm interested in looking into this cage trap situation. Does your friend live in Colorado? What type of Cage traps does he use and where do I get them? Thanks GUTPYLZ for telling me about these other options.
