One of the first sets for fox i ever made i used a mouse nest and caught a Red fox that was a long time ago but i still find myself using a set that is close to the real thing
i start by digging a trap bed and use the dirt to form a small mound behind the bedded trap i make a depresson and place the mound in it
then take my driver to punch a poke hole to hold the bait
i always carry lawn clippings because here in the north if the weather turns bad i will just pinch-bed the trap and use the clippings to cover i always spray the mound
with a good dose of clean urine and pack the clippings to form the mound the urine seems to help stick the grass to the dirt mound
i than use a bit of clippings to make the trap bed disapear
i bait the hole with a mouse / weasel mix and






find this set to be incredibly quick and natural looking

Good stuff there Bob. A small hole (or two) made with the trap stake or driver was a favorite of mine when I set for fox and coyotes for years. That backing looks really good.

That type of set caught me hundreds of fox and coyote over the years.

this is a great looking set i will have to remember to make a few this year.
