Slick pan, I don't have any pictures but I can explain how I set my snare pens. Wolves will run my trail so I look for black spruce that are growing close together and big enough to hold a wolf along my trail. The bait is placed in the center wired or spiked to a tree and then a ring of snares are put in a circle around the bait, maybe 25 to 50 yds depending on how big the patch of spruce is. I also hang some random snares inside the circle. I like to put my snare pens in during the off season so I can plug up any holes with brush and hang the snares that way I won't leave as much scent or sign when it comes time to set it. The snare pen is a good set and is pretty common to use for wolves here in Alaska. I would also add that a pee post set is also a good addition along your trail near the snare pen. If you don't have it I highly recommend the ATA wolf trapping manual, it is jam packed with good info. Thank you taking the time to explain it. Its a different set I was not familiar with but explaining it in detail like you did I can now understand. I would have though that wolves would be leery of such a set. I have my copy of the ATA manual on order.
