Bigger traps? Sorry couldn't resist. I honestly don't know what you could do other than blind sets no lure or bait.

Dont use drags!!!!
Nothing you can do about the bears...
Also, a strong-springed 1.75 coil will hold a 60 pound cub...and momma will not leave him. Trust me.

The bear dog have started around here now should keep them a little busy. I trap cats here in the mountains and there is nothing you can do to stop them just hope they get out. I use a flat set and bed close to my attractor that seems to help some but not all the time.
No matter where you go there you are.

Trap water critters Doesn't help. Had one walk off with my #5 Bridger last spring. All he left was a very impressive 20 foot catch circle on a 10 foot drowning rod. Must have had a beaver in the trap

Dog proofs don't help much on them long tongued, bait stealing jerks either.

Not my pics. If we didn't set till they went to bed ,it wouldn't be until now . We have to deal with wolf catches at all times anyway .
