Hunter---need some answers.Where are you from? What are you interested in trapping?
I learned to trap by reading, I had no one to teach me--but I did learn.
Reading is still one of the best ways to gain information.Videos are also very helpful.
I would suggest getting The Trapper and Predator Caller magazine,it is the #1 trapping magazine available.Many state trappers associations,give you this magazine with your membership. I even do some writng for them.
Glad you joined us, we will help you out as much as we can.

Drop me an e-mail, lenon@uplogon.com and i'll reply with six free pages of tips on trapping fox and coyotes. All of the sets and set specifications listed for coyotes will also catch every passing bobcat. Ace

get you some #2s for fox and coyote and get you some big beaver traps like 330s and #5s for the beaver in the tug river.
