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.

Urine?

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.

Snares & more Snares, lures are pretty simple. Winter Weather is going to be the Biggest Challenge snow can come early some years. Sounds like a great adventure! Plan well and have a safe trip. Some bobcat & fox gland lure plus a fishy type bait will catch everything but the beaver. Good Luck!!

Can you also pack a snowmobile?

Are you going to be doing a walking trapline with all your equipment on your back? If so, that's great from a nostalgia standpoint, but for putting up fur not really practical. The # of furbearers you can access by foot in the mountains of Wyoming will be low unless you cover lots of miles. The only animal with high density in the western mtns would be marten, and those only in pockets. In reality, perhaps the only profitable thing would be bobcats, and that would be limited as well and LOTS of walking going from pocket to pocket. If you are car trapping, disregard the above.

No snowmobile, will use truck to get from end of one line to start of another line. But checking all on foot.

Fox Hallow Bounty Hunter is good for all predators.

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.

Carmen’s Canine call works for every predator I’ve ever trapped. Good luck and post pictures when you return!!

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 .

Thanks all for the replies. All are very helpful.

get those jelly legs in shape now...........
elevation makes them go rubbery PDQ

If you are driving from trailhead to trailhead you can pack a lot more in the pickup and just put what you think you need for that hike in your pack when you get out. So you can pack more versatility of lures and traps in the pickup. If you are running short lines that just take and hour or two to hike and then drive on to the next one, that will help out a lot. You can use just a couple lures on one line and when you get to the truck you can switch them out for a different couple for the next line. And carry things like urine in a small bottle and refill it at the pickup. Going to suck freezeproofing sets though, if you are setting in dirt you aren't going to be able to pack too much waxed dirt on your back. I don't like using antifreeze but it may be the only feasible route for you. That or getting enough snow to set in snow, and learning to deal with traps melting out in the snow.

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.
