Trace,welcome to the forum.We like nothing better than to see new trappers join us.
 If you would give us a little information it would help us to help you.
 What state are you from,and what type of terrain and conditions will you be trapping in.

check out the cat snaring pictorial essays in earlier strings along this page.
those pictures and comments say a lot right there for areas that sound very similar to the areas you are describing.

Hello from another nm traper , I use to trap your area tuli and meckgreor
range . I'd use #3 coils and drags . use the drags because you'll probally
be on public land and some one will steal your sets. If you want good cat
country go to dog canyon . Now the indain was letting trappers on the lower side of nogal canyon there in bent . You can Pm me if you need info
on your country .  I've got all kinds of spots down there . ( I grew up in Ruidoso )
