Tracy Truman's "Mastering Bobcat Trapping: Small Gains, Big Catches" Book is a 107 page, full format guide designed to elevate your success by focusing on the small, strategic adjustments that lead to big results. Featuring nearly 100 color and black and white photos, the book presents a practical, visually driven approach that helps you understand how to adapt your methods across a wide variety of terrains and regional conditions. Drawing on field tested experience, this book breaks down new techniques for scouting, set construction, lure use, weather adaptation, and reading bobcat behavior with greater precision. Instead of relying on broad, generic advice, it highlights the subtle distinctions that consistently separate top producers from average ones. These distinctions include location details, pattern recognition, micro-movements and environmental cues. Whether trapping in desert basins, timber country, farmland edges, or rugged mountain terrain, you learn the reasoning behind each method as well as how to adjust sets for maximum performance. The emphasis on incremental improvements, those “small gains” that compound over time, help you increase efficiency, avoid common mistakes and ultimately put more cats on the stretchers. Filled with real world examples, photo-supported demonstrations, and clear explanations, Master Bobcat Trapping is a modern, practical resource for both novice and veteran trappers who want to increase their catch rates and deepen their understanding of one of North America’s most elusive predators.

Each Expand-A-Pan model is shaped and sized differently to maximize the pan area for each different model of trap. Some Expand-A-Pans come in a weld on style, and some come in a bolt on style. Weld on models are: MB-450, MB-550, MB-650, MB-750, Bridger #5 CS, Jake Trap, Duke 550, Duke 650 and Duke #2 Square Jaw.
