YouTube is a great place to look at. It does not have all of our local Regulations but it has a ton of info ,esp for the beginner. Look at Dirt Hole sets, Post Sets , Hay Sets. You Have a year to understand what is goin on and getting some equiptment, The season will be wrapping up here shortly Feb 18. Unless you have some Beaver in the area they are alot of fun also and you have till March 31, ( Completly different regulations on them) Read your digest! Me personally I love my Bridger #2 offsets ,They catch everything that walks our area and is a good all around Trap. IMO I like to get all of my supplies from Minnesota Trapline. They are great people and shipping is fast.
Hope this helps a bit
