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.

thats awesome! he looks proud to carry that cat on his shoulder. Man i wish i had a dad that did that kind of stuff when i was a kid. Oh well and congrats thats a good looking cat!!

that is what it is all about. Great job. I remember when my kids saw there first animal in a foot hold the look is priceless.

thats great, nice lookin cat

thanks everybody, and he didn't know it but as he was carrying that cat back on his shoulder, it was peeing all down his back!

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.

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?

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.

what did you use for a lure or bait?
