I am going to try to learn coyote and bobcat trapping this year and was wondering if yall can recommend a good video or book on these species. I have some trapping experience but have never targeted these, I have about everything I need other then some bigger traps(all I have is 1.5s) going off what Ive read I am going to start with a dozen bridger #3 4coils. thanks guys

Any of Charles Dobbins books or videos are excellent. On the traps, 4 coils are not really necessary to hold yotes and cats IMO. I would recommend laminated jaws though. I personally like the MB 550 OS Cast jaw 2 coil trap. They are ready to go out of the box after degreasing and your choice of trap dip/wax and chain mods to be NC legal. And for coyotes, you need to either double stake or use earth anchors. Coyotes will pump a single rebar stake out of the ground in short order.
