last cat

[bryan]

Here is the last cat of the season for me, checked traps and had him in there, so I went home and got my boy so He could see the last cat for the year.

what kind of live trap is that you have him in? did you make it yourself? what are the dimensions and what kind of lure did you use.

[bryan]

That's a homemade trap, almost all the traps me and my buddies have we have made ourselves, we have a few differnt door designs, unless the door hangs inside most are about 3' long and 18" tall. as far as width, it doesn't seem to bother the cats, have some cages that are 8" wide and they work, but most are 10"-12" wide. I get most of my lures from montgomery fur, I like the moneymaker ond and last step two.

Do you have any plans or diagrams of the traps that you make yourself that you could send me? would greatly appreciate it if possible. just lookin to kill some time in the Garage this year waiting for the cool weather to hit. What kind of trigger system and door latch system are you using?

[bryan]

give your email and I will send ya a pic or two and try to help. Some of the doors fall from the inside of the trap out, guilotine doors that drop straight down, and we tried a few that drop down from the outside like the one in the pic. The trigger system is just a pan that they step on an it pulls a rod out that drops the door.
