tn-pesky got most of it,but for traps. I would go to http://www.murrayslures.com to get your lures and accesories and http://www.chagnonoutdoors.com for traps. To start,buy about 4 330 conibears for beaver,about 10 little #1 and #1 1/2 footholds for muskrats, a few bigger footholds like #4 and #5 for your yotes and bobcats,and about 5 160 conibears for coon box sets and opposums. Thats should set ya up.
Without passion.....Why bother?

Tn-Bownc Is right check the laws before you do anything.In Maryland you can not set any size coni. on dry land. Snares are outlawed in 7 counties. Like bownc said, you will need a lot more stuff than what I said in the beginning. I would suggest you start with a couple of live traps and some 110 coni. for muskrat and maybe some 1 and a half leg hold for fox. Don't go overboard. If you are inexperienced, skinning a beaver can take you as long as an hour. You have to know how to skin the animals you catch and what to do with the hides. There are a lot of tricks to trapping. Get books, videos or like I said, find and talk to an experienced trapper. I hope this helps you. Good Luck.
