Any books or videos you would recommend for a beginner? I've been using a few dog proof coon traps since the fall and ordered some leg hold traps to start using after I'm done deer hunting.

I used to read this in the 80's before the fur price fell out.

Absolutely...the bible of trapping is a book called Trapping North American Furbearers by S. Stanley Hawbacker:

Trapping North American Furbearers

and as the others say, Fur Fish & Game was my magazine of choice back when I trapped.
