How good would wild barn cats be to check out interest in a bobcat lure?I have 2 lures cats will not leave alone and one pulled a old cat a good distance to check it out.

I think a real good test if not gland lure. even gland should be a good test if they have never had a near death experience with a real bobcat.

Favorite thing to do is mess with cats and see which lure turns em on. Coonduke turned me onto a non lure that worked pretty well for me last year , cause his cat wouldnt leave him alone. LOL

I use to always put different lures out around my grandpa's barn and see which of his half strays would check out first.

BEST way is make yourself a TEST CIRCLE... NICE large area with 100% SMOOOOOOOOTH soft dirt... put a rock in the middle with the lure on/under it...THEN you'll know what came inside the circle by the tracks...AND quantity.... I use about a 6' in diameter circle with NICE sifted/loose dirt......... proof's in the tracks!!!

The only REAL way to determine a cat's reaction is through observation of the cat as it encounters the lure or bait. The tracking pits tell you a cat was present, but don't tell you much about his reaction. A cat in a trap doesn't always tell the story either. You have to be in a position to observe the animal's reactions, intensity and responses. Like the reaction to the lure in this bush . . . Or the lure on this pile of rocks. . . . . . . . or in this bush.

Good posting cameron2. So some of these reactions are for the ir light in the animals. A vet friend said to greet any new dom. cat; always wiggle your finger and they will respond by brushing their checks to your finger. Seems your visitors are adding the scent to their cheeks.

those videos are going to be the death of some lure makers and make fools of alot of method books, sooner or later though im sure every lure maker will have his own vids out lol, some years back i did some testing on old half wild town housecats, i was amazed at how easy it was to stop one trotting down a sidewalk and then off a couple feet to investigate an odor, i was also amazed at how many times the cats stopped dead, took three steps to the odor, sniffed it very close with their nose, and then either jumped back if it was a real reeker, or just quickly walked away if it was milder, another odd reaction i got alot was the cat stepping back after sniffing and then laying down, then a confused look and walk away, some beaver lures had that reaction.

The video of the gray fox was a reaction I never guess would happen.I hope the lure I sent you turns out.

Great videos. There are some good size spiders working in the nite in that grey fox video.I have known that grey fox are prone to rubbing their chins and side of their mouths for many years from the old still photos I got. The video really brings these reactions into the play book nicely for specific responses to individual ingredients and specific lures.

Why don't you use some ethiopian abyssinian woodpecker musk mixed with maned wolf urine taken in the dark of the moon?
I'm sure you'd get a better response than beaver and fish.lol!!

My cats won't leave the mink gland alone, they rub and rub and lick, have some catnip marinating in vodka, set the open container in floor and one will vaccum it up , another comes ,smells and recoils another won't even smell the catnip, go figure. The mink glands always gets a reaction.
