Predators and all other fur bearers can be caught on most anything with some eye appeal and odor if you are in front of them. That should be a noted fact for those that understand what I mean and have learned this from their own experiences. It isn't rocket science but it does have its own learning curve.
Processed and prepared materials can make trapping much easier due to their strength, variety and odor appeal. Once you learn to get in front of them the rest is routine for the most part. Same old same old just at different places. The magic is in the understanding of what you are doing and how you do it where it will be most productive.
Learn your basic set construction and a couple for change ups as needed. This trapping is an on going work in progress but it gets much easier with time spent in the field. Very well put

Foot pads or back feet are best used in the spring to kill its mate . Rest of the year imo it is a curiousity .

What does the ever clear do? I'm assuming it is to tincture the odor

just leave a low spot on the pan

Do most folks really believe that an animal will consciously look for other animal tracks ? Just asking
Not sure, but I did see rubber paws on a stick in the trap supply catalog for that purpose.

coyote cant tell a coyote track from the marks left after a squirrel digs up a nut without his nose. they are animals. no cognitive thinking, not human.

Imo coyotes learn from repetitive interaction and association. If a coyote has been around for a few years than yes I think he could possibly see and smell enough marks in the dirt, (tracks) that they can associate it with one of their own. I would say most don't know this but maybe some do.

A coyote that's been around a few years I think can tell what food is, (rabbit) from just visual alone without smelling it because they learned what they are. If a coyote sees you even without smelling or hearing you they know just by sight you are danger. I bet they know what a turd is on the trail there trotting down even if they can't smell it from where they're standing. So why couldn't a coyote know what a track was at a set or anywhere without smelling it if they've learned over the years what it is through association?
I think the track maker they sell is mostly a gimmick but leaving a track on your pan could potentially help.
