Default RE: What traps for Bobcats and or coyotes?

Look at the MB-650 from Minnestota Brand Trap products. A great trap, they are built strong, have an oversize pan, great for beginners and a coytote can't tear them up. They are ready to go right out of the box, just run them through the dishwasher and speed dip them. The Jim Digger trowell is a great tool, you will need a two pound hammer with a digger welded on the back of it to dig trap beds. I use and like earth anchors instead of stakes, much easier to use and you can carry a lot more of them. A couple books that would be helpful would be The flat set and its Varitations and The Hole Set and Its Variations, both by Charles Dobbins, Coyote Fever by Ray Milligan, and Lone Wolfer by James Lucero. They all discuss sets, locations, and equipment. The link is for the trapping supply business that I use, they are great people. If you call them Tim will discuss anything you want. He is real helpful with baits and lures and how to use them.
