That was an awesome track job !!!! Beauty cats Jeromy !!!! Thanks for taking us along !!!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thanks for watching

[@doncallies8803]

Northern Nevada and Idaho definitely has the best fur Bobcats. Been there done that. Nice Tom ...

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Definitely some nice cats come from those areas

[@billsmith5166]

That is beautiful country. Good to see all the help you got!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Hahahaha I need all the help I can get most days. Thanks for the comment

[@elkhtr8472]

Well done Jeromy! Good looking cat

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thank you!

[@jakestockett3839]

What are your favorite lures and baits for bobcats?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

My absolute favorite is Powder River from O’gorman. I use the powder river for both lure, and bait, even though technically I think it is sold as bait. My second favorite would be my homemade castor lure.

Way to go Jeromy. Love to see my sons and grandsons out having good clean fun in the best country in Oregon!

[@ericcarpenter7021]

What kind of drag is it home made

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Yep. I make all my own drags. I’ve tried lots of different types and ideas. I’m still experimenting with them, but I’ve got a design made out of #4 rebar that works great so far. Good luck!

Do you flag your walk throughs?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

I do flag about 20% of them

That was really exciting Jeromy! Great tracking and beautiful cats buddy! 🙂👍👍👍

Been watching so many of your vids. I’m in Idaho outside of Boise. Last year was my first year and did ok, I get such a thrill from trapping but it can be overwhelming to get started and have success from where to go, what to look for etc. really want to get into because of my 3 boys. I’d there any place to find good resources or mentors?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

The trapping community as a whole is a pretty welcoming community as far as I know. I would contact the Idaho Trappers Ass. They would be able to point you in the right direction I’m sure for mentors. If you can’t find anything, then let me know I’ll make some calls, and see what I can find for you. My nephew traps in Riggins, and I can maybe get you set up with him. If nothing else come spend a weekend in Oregon with me, and I’ll help as much as I can.

[@stevemccoy8138]

That's some good tracking, glad you found the cat, have you ever had chains broken before?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thank you! That was the first time my nephews had gone on the desert trap line with me. It’s a time they probably won’t forget. That was my first ever broken chain. Without the snow we probably would not have found that cat.

[@highrider8827]

I’m trapping in Utah bobcats. Is location everything looking for toilets scratch’s??????

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

The best place to start for me is to rimrocks, river beds, steep washes. I usually find scat trees and go from there. The benefit of a scat tree is you know they are in the area. You can usually find a set location by determining/guessing what direction they are traveling. Although I did catch two bobcats today in coyote sets, that were not scat trees. Stay tuned for my next bobcat video coming up. I will go over some ideas on this topic. Thanks for the comment!

[@CoffeyOutdoors]

Good looking sets. Nice catches . I’ll be glad when we get a cat season in Indiana

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thanks for watching Coffey. We can get tags for 5 per year. It used to be 7, but when prices skyrocketed about 10 years ago they limited us to 5. Hopefully you’ll get a season soon, or you’ll have to come out west and trap some here with me!

May have to

I got a good ? ,...every one talked about dirt set ,,,dry dirt ,,,,was dirt ,,,,.has anyone ever used very fine sawdust ,,,,,I own a mill and when I,mill logs the sawdust is very fine ,,,,,it's a natural product ,,,the animals are use to smelling trees n sampling and dead trees ,,,,,,why not dry the sawdust to a low moisture ,,,,and use it for top cover ,,,,. your thoughts on,this method ,,?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

You know Dennis, I’m not sure if that would work or not… I trap coyotes in the sage brush, so I’m not sure if they would shy away from sawdust, or not. It wouldn’t be real natural to their normal smells, but then again it would be natural in a forest type setting. I definitely would try it for bobcats. I’m sure it would work great for that. As far as being freeze proof, I think you would have to do something with it to keep it from freezing once it got wet… It would be interesting to experiment with.

[@denniscampbell8240]

I think that’s a great idea… you may be onto something

[@01jakefry]

Interesting sets I will have to try that here since we have similar landscape in places here. Thank you

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Yes sir, definitely try it for bobcats. It has a lot of eye appeal for them, but the coyotes around here won’t come within 20’ of one of these sets. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for sharing I’m new to trapping and I’m specifically targeting bobcats. Are you in Oregon?

[@Gbridges1000]

Where was the trap when you pulled him out from the rocks? Looks sorta fishy

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

I tried to pull him out the bottom and he got stuck in between the rocks. I pulled the trap off to try to get him up through the top crack, but it was too small for me to fit into. Mike then went down below, and I was on top with a stick, working together we dislodged him. I grabbed the phone, and went back down below to video him dragging him the rest of the way out. The whole story was pretty odd, but I have no reason to try to make anything up. Thanks for watching the video!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Also if you look 18:16 you can see his left front where the trap was.

[@Gbridges1000]

@@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790 Enjoy your videos. You were lucky the cat holed up. Coyote would have been 80 miles out of the territory and still moving
