What critters do you have in Alabama to trap? I presume coons and fox for starters. If you are in a more populated area, I would recommend foot traps either around the #2 size. Coilsprings should work just fine for them. If you want to use quick kill traps, 280 and 330 conibears work great for fox, so they could be an all around use trap. You can check out some traps on e-bay in the sporting goods section. Go to sporting goods and type in a search for trap or conibear and some listings will come up.
Good luck!
