    If you get down towards Duluth, Fisherman's corner has new and used sets; leg holds and connies. Otherwise L&M in Virginia carries a good selection at reasonable prices. The #5 4-coil is good for Beaver along with 330's; #2 and #13/4 2-coil should do you well with Cats/fox/yotes.

    I'm a professional. I'm a state certified animal damage control agent. But,, I'm not a state employee,, and I own my own business. Depending upon your state regulations,, certain types of traps may or may not be legal.
    And, different traps will be needed for bobcat & beaver.
    I use mostly 330 Conibears for beaver, as well as snares.
    Bobcats use a foothold,, but I haven't ever had to trap them as a nuisance.
    If you are looking for economy, and quality,,, may I suggest you look at "Duke's" traps? If you order over $100 worth,, the shipping is free. A half a dozen 330's will come close to that mark.
    Some #1-1/2's or #2's in double coil footholds will be good for bobcats. If using footholds, again, look at your laws,, as some states require either offset jaws, or padded jaws.
    Snares are the cheapest trap made, or you can make your own.

    I’ll be headed to the gun show in Duluth tomorrow and I’ve gotta go through Virginia to get there .
    Fishermen’s corner is one of my favorites !!

    Here's another vote for snares, if they're legal in your neck of the woods. I have yet to pinch a finger, break my back carrying them, or dig a hole. They can be bought in all sizes and length for whatever needs you have. I've snared hogs, coons, possums, coyotes and even one bobcat. They work and aren't hard to set. I usually only spend a few minutes at most making a snare set. Just be sure to anchor them real well. I like to use an extension and wrap it or wire it to a nearby and stout sapling.

    Beavers are next on my list. Buggers are cutting down all the saplings in my back yard...

    Thanks, Dinny
