The best advice I can give you is to plan early, So much time and preperation involved in trapping. I usually get started around August, Storing dry dirt, Trap preperation, Permission, as far as actually setting traps its really not that hard. If you know for sure that you have coyote and fox A few well made sets will take them, its more of a location game. It has taken me quite a few yrs to build a decent trapline. I go out in the late winter months and follow fox and coyote tracks in the snow just to see how they travel,were they travel, and anything else I can learn. Once the season rolls around, I already have a good Idea were my sets are going to be. Once you start making catches you can pretty much file that LOCATION and just keep setting it every year. Seems to work just fine for me. I always place my sets upwind of were I think they are going to travel,and draw them to the sets with there nose. Sometimes I use lure, sometimes just bait, I have even caught fox with nothing but a dirthole set with no lure or bait. Because the LOCATION was perfect. Once you draw them to a set, and they start to work it your chances are pretty good that they will step on that pan. My favorite set is a double dirthole walk through set. It has eye appeal, and lure and bait all they have to do is walk through the set and I have them. Most of my catches are high on the foot pad, that tells me that they are working my sets with confidence.There are lots of good books that can actually get you started on the right track, THE DIRTHOLE AND ITS VARIATIONS by Charles Dobbins is probably the best book I have ever read my catch seemed to triple after reading it.
