[QUOTE="17Tactical, post: 1530144, member: 29227"] The cubby hole set work best in my area. Hang a feather or bird wing from some fishing line about 3' above the set to attract the bobcat. Place the trap so the bobcat has to step on it as it enters the set. Place chunks of meat in the back of the set and make the set so the bobcat has to crawl into it to get to the meat. Place an attractant / lure on the set above the meat. A mink, shunk, bobcat urine, etc are good for this. Use the largest foot hold trap that is legal in your state. Here in Georgia, foothold traps are limited to a 5-3/4" inside jaw opening. I use the Jake Traps by J.C. Connors, they can not be beat for bobcats, coyotes, foxes and raccoons. The Duke #3 if modified can be a good bobcat and coyote trap. They are a little slow closing, the jaws are really rough on and animal and a coyote will really mess up the springs and chain attachments. Whichever foothold trap that is used, definitely install a shock spring on the chain and stake it in the ground really well. A coyote will pull a lot and can pull a stack up really quick. A bobcat caught in a foothold trap will usually try to hide in the brush. Usually will want to use a longer chain in a cubby set so when a bobcat get in the trap it will not destroy the set and it gives it more room to move around. [/QUOTE]
