If you’re worried about them approaching from the side you could use a turd and some pee back by the hole on a set like that and if he happens to approach from the side he will mark it or if he approaches from the front he will probably mark it. Either way he spends more time at the set and his approach doesn’t matter as much. They really don’t like big blocking. Otherwise looks good to me!

This is where a coyote was trying to dig out a ground squirrel. I haven't touched it at all. He left a small pile of droppings at the edge of the hole. This is exactly how I was shown by one of my mentors to make a trench set for coyotes. When I first saw it, I thought "Someone else is trapping here and they are using my sets!" I put a #3 Bridger Dogless there at the entrance, added a small gob of bait and freshened the droppings with some urine. That's it. We will see.
