the very first rule to trapping bobcats is.......make your sets where there are bobcats.
I know it sounds stupid but everyone will tell you that.
you should be ok if you can get around those strip pits, call up ole threlkeld hes the best bobcat trapper around.
I like dozer piles and deer carcuses, find roadkill, get disposition for it, make sets.
i dont catch very many cats(4) but havent trapped that much for them either.........they dont put the gas in the truck.
