I was out at the Plantation Tuesday evening and ran into the manager. He told me he saw a bobcat down a road when he went to wrap pipes at the old horse barn. He told me to set a couple traps if I wanted because we wouldn’t be hunting that course for a couple of weeks. He said if I put them in view of the camera we use to monitor for trespassers he’d keep an eye out and tell me when I caught something.
I went a placed a set I knew he could see from the camera and placed another a little farther down on the opposite side of the road. I had a camera in the truck so I stuck it monitoring that set.
Finished up the last set at 6:19pm
At 9:33pm a fox shows up.
At 9:34pm he’s caught.
I placed that set on a drag and was a little worried even though I’d hooked it around the tree, so I went and took care of the fox and reset it and secured the loop around the tree with a quick link. The bobcat came through but paid no attention to the set.
I went back yesterday evening and made sure the set was the way I wanted it since it was daylight and added some lure even though it was baited with some scraps my wife had cut off a roast.
Around 2am a cat came strolling by again.
Now the pics a little blurry, but that’s him getting snapped, lol.
Now this is on the drag with about 10ft of chain and this was the last pic I got before the manager went out to take care of the cat. It appears he did a little climbing!
And finally the manager taking a pic for me.
We have a Christmas Parade this evening that my Granddaughter is in, but after the parade ends I’ll head back out and reset and see if the third night will produce.
