Bobcats
Recently had 6 chickens killed mid day in about 2 hours. No body's, just piles of feathers. I know I have bobcats, seen them on trail cams. Mated pair came out last year while deer hunting, pretty cool.
I know nothing about trapping but I did some research an created a cubby or trench trap with a #3 foothold. See the 2 pics. Not sure if they are good enough or not.
I just put some raw chicken mixed with feathers. No bobcat gland or urine, not sure if I needed that.
How'd I do, what can I improve, and any other comments or concerns?
Also, dispatching bobcats advice?
Trapping squirrels. Live out in the woods and they are chewing wiring in my truck. Best bait for live traps when I’m not home?
reddit.comI literally HAVE to catch this thing but don't know the first thing about actually trapping anything other than cats and even THAT has been awhile
Please tell me I'm not crazy to think if this opossum isn't scared of my neighbors huge dogs it ain't gonna be scared of my 4'11 ass 😭

THIS THING IS BIGGER THAN MY PUPPY AND LITERALLY GOING AFTER THE BIRDS FOR SPORT.
It's acting weird as hell. I'm about to set up my live trap to catch it and call game and fish. I don't own a rifle. I own a bb and a live trap(as well as two dogs one being a puppy, the one who could possibly do something is down sick rn but is half the size of the neighbors dogs and that thing didn't flinch and still got one of their birds after it got my male duck yesterday)
This thing is striking middle of the day and not afraid of anything. It's attacking randomly not to eat just to kill.
I have a pressure activated live trap. Little hard to use but if I get it set correctly it should be able to trap it. I don't even remember how to use it
