In the last 2 years snow has come a bit early around here, either started in it or soon after start about 70%of my coyotes are caught in snowy condition .

I'll take 6" of snow over my sets vs 1/2" with bitter cold temps
Enough snow insulates the ground and allows the ground to stay soft while still letting the bait/lure odor continue to work well

When the snow flies It's time to start hanging cable.
It all depend son what your traps are bedded with. If your using peat or waxed dirt you might be good to go. If your just using regular dirt It will absorb moisture and If the temps are cold enough It will freeze putting you out of business.
When dealing with snow I would just rake away all the snow from the set . It will give you great eye appeal and you will catch critters. You just need the right bedding material to keep the traps operational.

are you putting the trap under the hay? Yep. I placed the set two days ago. They worked the set the night before last, but not hard. I added a bit of lure to it yesterday and will be out making my checks in an hour or so. I'll post pics if there's anything worth reporting.
