The trails you should be setting at a bait site should be a foot wide and packed like a deer trail. I don't see that in your photos. Setting blind is fine but you need lotsa snares. Put out a bait. Coyotes hit it and make their own trails. Stay away. Freshen it up and at the same time set it up. 10 inches up and 11 around. Tie swivel end high for a clean kill. Sometimes they hit a bait then bugger off but they come back. Check from a distance. Sometimes it's just a couple yotes. You get one then it's done. Move on but check that old bait site for new sign once in awhile
If you get the male female right away then you might get the nice pups. If you get the pups first mom and dad will be tough. My own observations in farmland/cattle country. Sorry for long winded reply.
