footholds in snow

[jmparker]

So this year I plan to use footholds for the first time. I have a handful of Bridger #3s to play with and I'm looking forward to it!! Since this will be my first time setting footholds I was wondering what advice you guys have for a newbie. I am planning on setting beside a well used game trail and use a dirt hole set, possibly under a spruce where the ground will be hopefully less froze.

Whats the best plan for dealing with snow? I am thinking about putting the foothold in a plastic bag to help it from freezing down. Also as far as bedding the trap goes, is it possible to bed in snow? or is it best to only bed in solid ground? Any advice would be great!!!

thanks guys!
