Default RE: Help with Trapping?

Its been a while since I trapped seriously

I always like 1-1/2 and 1-3/4 coil springs for Raccoon & Fox - and I had #2s for coyotes - but never got any.

I started with baited pocket sets and graduated to dirt hole & scent post sets for fox to cut down on skunks, possum and housecat catches.

I also really liked Run Sets with #220 Conibear Trapsfor raccon. Once you find a few "coon trails" - you start to see them everywhere, I still look for them when I'm hunting even though I haven't trapped in years.

There is alot of info out there - I learned most of what I know from FUR-FISH-GAME, the magazine. I'm not sure if its still around - but it was great.
