How to catch a Bobcat?

Did I said live kitchen????? oh my goodness jajajaja a live chiken!!!!

[BowSlayer]

I would use a trap placing a live kitchen inside, if he already killed some birds he`ll come back for an easy meal that`s for sure

Yep, he wiped out about 25 chickens in short order too.

So something is killing your neighborhood cats? I don't see the problem...

I wouldn't either if it hadn't screwed up and ate a wiener dog.

I still don't see a problem... I'd let it do work!!!

IMO sounds more like a coyote though, and one I'd let live for quite some time!

[PROUDREDNECK]

C-H-I-C-K-E-N that`s what happens when you write in a hurry!

[bowhunterchris]

[PROUDREDNECK]

25 birds?????? wow! I think you`ll don`t need to much to lure him!

Just my opinion, but i think its a feral dog, not a dog of the wild or a cat. Coyotes, foxes and bobcats kill to eat.

But, if it were me, i'd buy the 3 pack live traps at Tractor Supply. Catch a stray cat in the small 1. Then put the small trap in the biggest trap and wait.

2 cats at one time, two problems sovled.

If you`re not able to get a trap for that cat I would suggest you placing a wire snare, just find or make a passage to the chicken coop suitable for that snare and he`ll be hanging tomorrow

Whatever it is carried the chickens up and over the chicken pen. There's no holes anywhere that a dog would get in and out of. It got about 2 per night until they were all gone. Nothing there but a few feathers.

[PROUDREDNECK]

If you use a live trap, cover the outside with some branches or material to kind of disguise the trap. Don't know why it works for cats but they seem more willing to go in it if it is dark inside.

Do you have a smart phone? there are some pretty decent call apps, if the animal is fairly close you might get lucky. I have gotten coyotes to call back to my phone out in my back pasture. Most of the apps are free, its worth a shot.

Ok here's what you do:

Place a warm bowl of milk out by the chicken coop. Not hot, warm. Begin calling "here bob-kitty, here bob-kitty" and patiently wait until said cat arrives. Once he is there, let him begin slurping the warm milk and begin talking softly and friendly-like to him while gently stroking his/her fur (they like it when you rub behind their ears). When you hear him begin to purr you slowly and calmly begin to slow-grab him behind the scruff of his little neck (like his momma used to do). This will temporarily paralyze the furry critter while you reach around with your free hand and lift the sack. Note: Walmart bags won't hold, so get something a little heavier. Once you've lovingly placed the stub-tailed rascal in said bag, quickly release your hold on the neck and close the bag. After a period of time the cat will tire from his thrashing from not liking the confinement of the bag. This is when it is safe to take the little feller out and release him into the wild. Or the river. Your choice.

Oh, and please video the whole process. So others can learn too.
