Correct, careful what you ask for unless your working for Feds or AZGFD. If someone did catch one in a cage trap, you would need to set it free asap

His location says Mexico. The laws may be different there regarding trapping. I have no clue though.

That might explain the grammar as well...

but placed in such a manner that the mountain lion

would enter the trap under the auspices of gaining access to

the penned goats. The trap was successful in capturing an 85

pound female mountain lion. The following year, 2 more

mountain lions were captured with the trap. In both instances,

the fresh mountain lion kills were carcasses of a goat and

sheep which were used for bait.

After each capture, the trap needed major repairs, as both

lions had almost made successful escapes. This was due to

the large 6" x 8" grid panels.

The valuable knowledge gained from those first captures

was instrumental in building a more effective and durable

cage trap. It was concluded that some mountain lions would

enter a cage trap even if they had to lower their heads to gain

clearance. However, a taller trap would allow the mountain

lion to enter easily with plenty of head room. A larger trap

would also seem less confining to the mountain lion and help

reduce trap shyness. A larger cage trap was built in 1987. The

trap measures 5' x 5' x 10' and was built with a detachable

panel frame. The panels can be unbolted from each other and

transported to remote locations and reassembled. The trap

can also be transported by loading it onto a small utility trailer

or towed by attaching a set of tires to the bottom of the trap. A

small version of the mountain lion cage trap was built in

1989. It measured 4' x 4' x 10' and was built with a solid

frame. This trap can easily be loaded into a pickup for transporting

or loaded onto a utility trailer and towed with an ATV

to remote locations.

Commercially made galvanized stock panels were used

for the sides, the top and bottom, and the door. The panels are

made from 3/16" galvanized rods welded together to form a

2" x 4" grid pattern. This size of pattern gives added strength

to the trap versus the larger (4" x 4"; 6" x 8"; 8" x 10") grid

patterns. The smaller grid prevents the lion's possible escape,

the lion's reaching through and striking at objects outside the

trap, and the trap’s repair after each capture.

The 2" x 4" mesh does not restrict light from entering the

trap, such as solid panels or a culvert trap would do. Being

well-lit with little view obstruction, the trap gives a less confined

feeling.

The door is mounted to the top of the trap by bearing

plates. The bearing plates mounted on each side of the door

contain a sealed bearing from which the door pivots. The

bearings give the door a smooth movement and a fast closure

speed. Under most operating conditions, the closure speed is

sufficient from the weight of the door only.

A half second is the average speed of the door closure. If

more speed is needed, a coil spring at the top of the door can

be adjusted.

Two spring bolt gate latches are located on the doors

outside lower corners. These latches hook over the bottom

frame of the trap when the door is closed. The floor treadle is

a 1.5' x 4' metal plate located 2' from the inside rear of the

trap. The set trap is activated when the floor treadle is

depressed. A tension spring located on the top lever arm can

be set to any poundage, thus eliminating catching smaller

non-target animals entering the trap.

When sufficient weight is applied to depress the treadle,

a lever arm releases the set door. The door then swings from

its top inside horizontal set position in a down and outward

arc to close in a vertical position.

FIELD APPLICATION

Before California ADC can initiate depredation control

activities or remove a mountain lion for public health and

safety reasons, a depredation permit or written authorization

must be issued by the California Department of Fish and

Game.

When a resource owner finds a fresh mountain lion kill,

it is critical that they obtain a permit and contact ADC quickly.

The best chances for capturing the offending mountain lion is

the first night after the initial kill. Several mountain lions

have been captured at dusk while returning to feed on the

carcass; therefore, it is imperative that the trap be baited and

set several hours before dark. Often the mountain lion has

moved the carcass to a different location to feed on it. This

new location should be the site where the cage trap needs to

be set. If several kills were made, use the carcass which has

been most fed upon and remove the rest. If the trap cannot be

placed at the carcass site, set the trap as close as possible; then

drag the carcass to the trap. When dragging the carcass, be

sure to leave a good scent trail for the returning lion to follow.

Hang the carcass or bait in the back of the trap behind the

treadle. A minimum space of 6" should be left between the

carcass and the rear wall of the trap. This will prevent the

mountain lion from pulling pieces of the carcass from outside

the cage trap. Attach the carcass securely so that it cannot be

removed from the trap or pulled under the treadle by the lion

before the trap is sprung. Any obstacle under the treadle may

cause the trap not to activate properly.

The floor and treadle should be completely covered with

leaves, grass and preferably dirt. The treadle tension should

then be set at approximately 15 pounds to prevent accidental

capture of non-target species.

Test fire the trigger mechanism to insure the door closes

smoothly and clears the material covering the floor. Outside

the trap, use brush and limbs on top, sides, and rear to camouflage

the trap and give it a more natural appearance.
