Appalachian Cats is a serious look at the bobcat and what it takes to successfully trap them in the eastern United States. Where do you find bobcat? How do you deal with their erratic, frustrating personality? What locations, what sets, what lures and baits, what traps will lead to a successful bobcat trapline? Appalachian Cats has all this a more!
The author has blended his years of trapline experience with the observations of Jeff Amos on his eastern traplines. Jeff has more cat trapping experience than Rich Faler will ever have, making him a perfect addition to Appalachian Cats. Jeff’s techniques and approach to bobcat trapping will lead to increased catches of this amazing furbearer.
A better understanding of the bobcat and how to best pursue him are pulled together in this book. For a trapper trying to catch their first bobcat, or veteran trapper trying to increase their bobcat harvest, Appalachian Cats is the stepping stone to those goals. This book will become one of your favorites. You will continually go back and reread it to get all the tidbits of information you may have missed. The worn pages will attest to the importance of this book in your bobcat trapping!
