Set a few in the spots that are natural points around your bait but not too close. Create a few spots with subtle re direction, not blocking off or topping in. When you go back maybe you got them, maybe they are developing alternate routes. Then set on the new trails.
Time in the country and lots of wire hanging will up your chances
Placing baits in small clearings or on small beaver ponds works too. Set your snares on the banks over looking the pond. The wolves will circle the pond back in the bush line before they head out to a new bait. Maybe you’ll get a few first time out.
