Don't forget rubber boots and gloves, not so much for the coon, but important for fox and coyote.  Wire stretchers?  Trapped a lot of coon and fox when I was a kid, never coyote - they were not around in CT back then.  Don't know if a 1 1/2 is big enough for coyote, maybe with a hook drag.  Good luck.  Experiment with your sets, bait, and lures.  Did well on red fox using dirt hole sets along stone walls bordering fields.  Coons along stream banks, also with bank hole sets.  And yes, tin foil, shiny side up, on a trap pan, placed in a couple inches of water will catch coon, especiall on a full moon, in ripply, fast moving water.... I had a hell of a lot of fun trapping, and miss it.
