Place a trap cover over trap and sift 1/2" of dirt over entire trap and trap bed area.  Be careful to make sure there are no small rocks or other debris that could get stuck in trap jaws when trap springs.  The covering over your trap should be flush to slightly elevated compared to surrounding ground.

The final step is placing lure, bait and urine.  I perform this step last so as not to get any odors on trap or bedding material which would cause canine to dig and scratch at trap resulting in a sprung and empty trap.

A good gland lure is a must.  Put several drops on some fur and deposit in bottom of hole.  Place a natural backing about 4 to 6 inches high behind dirt hole and spray urine over backing.  Use anything from natural surroundings, such as a piece of wood or rock.  If you use bait try to use something slightly tainted, as rotten bait seems to attract more possum and skunks.

Your set is ready and only needs to have lure added weekly or after rains.  Try making several sets in one location, especially if a lot of sign is present.  When you catch a canine, be sure to remake set even if area is all torn up.  Just use a different clean trap and bedding material.  As soon as weather starts freezing, mix trap anti-freeze with your dirt or use dry dirt that you saved during dry summer months.

The last several winters have been pretty mild, which has provided us with some excellent weather for canine trapping.  Be patient if your line gets covered with snow, because having sets out during a thaw is one of most productive times and could result in your best catch of season.
