Nope. Guiding too far from the pan. I gave it a place to step other than on the pan.

The lure seems to be effective along with my application. Just need to learn how to present it better I guess.

Peat moss ?

Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

They like to paw at that stuff, seen it before. I think some don't like to step on the spongyness, notice how he stopped just short of the peat. I had one similar to the pawprint pic yesterday, missed by inches.

Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Never ceases to amaze me how people make things harder than they need to be. And pay the price for it.

I don't have all day like some trappers so I try to make them where I don't have to change them when the weather changes.

Guess that's one you forgot to show me.

My goodness Hobbie its good to see your getting it wrong! I'm not going to admit it but I have seen very similar events from time to time. Based on your research I would recommend you bury an egg and pee on it! On a more serious note I have done/ do a couple things when those scenarios arise (you likely have done or do the same).
1. re make the dug out set and put in the exact same set about 3' away...
2. recently I have been just kicking the entire area flat hole and all and then re bedding the trap (pan being the low spot) and dribble a little urine where the hole used to be.
3. throw in some pipe sets with grass covering- still havn't figured out if it is weather or what cause- but I will have days when every catch is in a pipe set. Conversely I will have days when every catch set is in a dirt hole...

I might just make a "Bean Chaff/Hay Set/Easter Egg Hunt/Closed DH" set just for you Beaglador. lol

Maybe 4 traps, 1 NW, 1 SW, 1 SE and 1 NE.

If its not worth setting 4 traps it's not worth setting- you should know that! Don't forget the step down/compass/trash heap/ wet dream set!
