I'm planning to run a trapline in the mountains of Wyoming this fall. I will be going after bobcat, fox, coyote, mink and beaver. Trying to keep my pack lite as possible, besides beaver castor what is a good all around lure for the animals? I will be using a lot of blind sets as well.

Gusto is a good all around call lure. Coyote and bobcat gland lures would serve you well too. Yodel dog and feline fix are both good. Sometimes on blind sets for cats I like to rub several very loud lures, say a little gusto on one side, some feline fix on the other, on the brush on either side of the set, bobcats like to rub up on em and you might get em to stick around and walk through a couple times rubbing and increase your chances. In the situations you’re gonna be going into, blind sets are gonna be your friend for sure.

If you've never trapped in real mountain country before, I would suggest you just go for it, whatever you think you will need give it a try. You will learn a lot, and then the next season you will have a much better idea of what works and what doesn't. I'm surprised you didn't mention marten, good marten trapping in Wyoming, easy to trap, and minimal equipment needed.

I'd suggest two pairs of good snowshoes so you can allow one pair to dry out while you wear the other pair . A good boot dryer will be very helpful too .

First off, you can only trap in Wyoming what Texas allows you to trap. You can not come up and trap species that Texas does not have. Look over our snare regs too. Also make note of baiting restriction with game animal parts, it can be confusing.
Snow trapping is a pain and access in the mountains will be very limited later in season.
What part of our state and welcome to Wyoming trapping. Why I assumed he didn't mention marten. You can only trap in Wyoming what your resident state allows Wyoming residents to come and trap.
