[@CKAMERICA]

When yotes sets catch bobcat you doing something right for sure 👍🇺🇸💯💯💯💯

[@snell0710]

Your terrain looks a lot like Louisiana clearcuts and dirt roads nice to see how you trap lots of useful information

[@BLUEGRASSTRAPPER]

Nice catches!! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

That Cat Man Do definitely works!

[@kurtlanford1448]

Great work,thanks for sharing!

[@olboytrappers]

Great video buddy keep up the good work

[@yourefaceneedscharmin762]

My employer in Texas kept a actual lion in a giant cage. On ranch right outside of hico . Huge ranch , almost a hundred acres .

[@curtiswjackson9916]

Good video brother.

[@christophergentile7464]

Awesome info

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

Yep, I catch 6 bobcats to every coyote. My guesses as to why. 1. There's a lot of bobcats in my part of Red River county Texas. 2. New to trapping, coyotes less forgiven of mistakes. 3. Too many dirt holes at root balls of dead trees. 4. No flat sets in trails. 5. Bobcats are even dumber than raccoons. (If that's even achievable)

[@johnsoc4875]

@@ferengiprofiteer9145 they are definitely very curious once you draw them In usually a catch keep up the good work my friend you will be blooming with game once you knock those number down possums are my dumbest I believe running 6 pounds of pan tension on yote sets because they are such a pest always getting in my trap before the coyotes do

[@scott1971314]

What is the best way to dispatch a bobcat if you’re going to do a full body mount??

[@Baylor_Barrow_Outdoors]

Catch pole

[@paulhuval]

Great video thanks

[@tjwalker3265]

Are you still using MB450s for the cats?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

Yes. I think the one in the intro was in a 550, but 90% of my traps are 450’s

[@tjwalker3265]

@@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors the 450s are by far my favorite traps. I have a ton of red fox where I'm at in Southern Maryland. I'll catch 30-40 reds to every coyote here. Unfortunately we don't have cats here

[@AdventureswithPastorD]

Do you usually have better luck with a double dirt hole set?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

@@AdventureswithPastorD yes I do. I think it adds more eye candy for a cat.

[@AdventureswithPastorD]

@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors and also still ok coyotes i heard you say. Do you always put them at that angle from the trap?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

@ yup. Still good for coyotes. That’s why I don’t make “bobcat” sets like you see some people do. Not that those sets won’t catch cats, I just feel like it deters coyotes.

[@millboroquiltersouthdakota6037]

Any photos of the end of the chain before you pound it in the ground? What’s holding it from pulling out? I’m in sand country

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

Super stakes/earth anchors. They’ll hold an elephant in beach sand.

[@jacobdaniel8239]

Where are you? Those are so rather large cats compared to what we have here in this part of NC.

[@JayCaskey]

Do you put the gland lure in the hole with sheeps wool ? and how much do you use /Thanks.

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

On that particular set, I just put bait in the sheep wool. But I have put gland lure in wool as well.

[@danyoder175]

What does your bottle of Cat Man Do smell like? I have old bottles that smell like castor but the new one I got this year smells like skunk. It’s loud! I’m sure it will probably work but I’m not to happy with the change.

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

The older they get the more the castor smell seems to come out in them. I’ve noticed that too.

[@adherentofgod]

Question, does the trap hurt them? Was looking to catch one but I don’t want it to be wounded. Thank you.

[@Baylor_Barrow_Outdoors]

It doesn’t hurt them

[@raydowdy6914]

Do they have good urine at Minnesota?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

It’s all I use

[@raydowdy6914]

What brand of urine do you like from Minnesota?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

@@raydowdy6914 the Minnesota brand. I believe that’s all they carry. Could be wrong.

[@colinblaylock5660]

I want to start trapping but have no land, can I trap on public land or no because someone could step on it? Also what are the best but cheaper traps I can buy. Thanks in advance

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

Bridger 1.75 are the best starter traps in my opinion. I’m not sure about the public land trapping. I know in SC there’s no public land trapping allowed. Depends on your state and laws. Minnesota Trapline Products is the best place to buy all your trapping supplies. They have starter kits that have everything you need to get going.

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

But if you want a really good trap that needs no adjustments you could get a half dozen MB450’s and never have to worry about them.

[@colinblaylock5660]

Thank you so much, also I’m from Missouri

[@sethgnade3530]

I live in Missouri and state conservation areas you can trap with special permits. I trap about 16,000 acres of state ground here. But a lot of them have stricter trapping requirements like dog proofs or cage traps on dry ground only and you have to turn in a catch log when you're done trapping You can trap around mark Twain lake without permits. I'm not 100% sure but Im pretty sure you can trap national Forest ground without permits.

[@Trippfinley]

Does this hurt the bobcat?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

😂

[@jonibarger3147]

You don't kill them do you?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

@@jonibarger3147 yes

[@Dr.agon.slayer]

Need to know which trap to purchase; He really does not tell you the type of trap ?

[@adriangalindo4548]

South Carolina?

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

Yes

[@user-STICKSLINGER79]

Bro I have been nailing the cat this year. On my own bait

[@roberth.5185]

You are a sick individual.

[@DianeDaniel-c7h]

Trapping a beautiful cat like the Bobcat who does no harm, but is absolutely vital for pest control is sick. They are extremely reclusive, and rarely come close to a house, so are not harmful at all to humans or livestock. It is especially cruel to use foot traps, where a bobcat may suffer for hours or days before they are found and ultimately killed. The trap could also kill roaming cats or dogs, someone's pets. Bobcats don't bother humans. Their main sources of food are squirrels, rats, mice, and rabbits, all which are pests. Remember, it was not long ago that Bobcats were an endangered.

[@CoastalCarolinaOutdoors]

@@DianeDaniel-c7h thanks for the opinion and insight, it lets me know just how uneducated you are in regards to what I do, how I do it, and the reasoning behind it.

[@johnsoc4875]

So sorry for your misconception of Bobcats. I often have issues within our farm with Bobcats, they are the number one culprit of our chicken and cute little Nigerian dwarf goats we farm for meat. Bobcats are also very helpful in our extreme low numbers in wild turkey because of our thick terrain. As far as passing dogs and cats he seems to be away from any homes likely a hunting club lease or 16th section land or large private property based on the number of sets and locations he’s setting. Feral cats and dogs are a thing and big a problem. Those harsh foot traps are not that harsh, because fox pen owners will not buy coyotes with hurt feet and or legs.

[@johnsoc4875]

One other thing I a trapper run my lines at daybreak ,or I pull my traps until I can.

[@CombatPIG0311]

Are you mentally retarded? Bobcats are very destructive to livestock (birds) and to every other natural ground animal. They are magnificent hunters and can decimate other animal populations. I've lost 30+ (chickens / ducks) in the last year, to a pair of bobcats. My dogs alert me when a cat hits a trap so they don't spend more than a few minutes in the trap. And my dogs know what the traps are and where they are, so they avoid those spots. I suspect you are a city or suburb dweller, who tells country and mountain people how the world is. You're clueless.
