Ok First you'll need a couple of traps.
I suggest a farm store or a good hardware store.
All the fur bearers you mention can be held in 1 1/2 coilspring traps.
They are probably the most popular trap today.
Next you need to find where furbearers are hanging out.Its called prospecting.
Go out and look for tracks.
Look where coons or possums cross fences. Climb a bank or go through a culvert.
Then do as my father in law told me he does.
"I just put the trap where the animal will step on it."
If after you catch a few critters you are hopelessly hooked on trapping just sell some of the fur and buy some more traps.
Good Luck
