Charlie Dobbins in his land set book has a great trick ive used many times upwind of places you describe. A few empty two liter plastic soft drink bottles, some absorbent material, a roll of wire, and a decent long distance call lure and you are in business. Ive used dunlaps hellfire and junes Windwalker both with success but anything loaded with loud skunk and other calling agent goodies works well.
When you find trees or high attachment points on property you have permission on upwind from the other place you want to pull predators from, wire a couple bottles high up in a branch so that the bigger end of bottle faces upwind and smaller capped end faces downwind or pointed at the property you are trying to direct odors toward.
Cut the big end off that bottle wired to the branch, unscrew the cap. Put the absorbent material inside the bottle and add a generous amount of call lure...dont skimp just load it up. The breezes will flow into big open end and funnel out the smaller end very well and send a nice stream of calling agent odors to the target area. It will travel long distance and help you pull the animals over. You can carry a bunch of these in a backpack and load up the area a couple weeks ahead of when you want to start setting traps. It was one of a jillion best things i read in his book. I still do this today in a couple areas i trap. I got permission on some really barron ground next to a section of super heavy cover i can never seem to get on. Coyotes and cats don't know what fences are they just follow their nose and eyes and ears wherever.
