well maxwell there are plenty of things to look for but it depends what you are baiting for and if you are using snares or leg holds. Are you looking for fox,lynx,coyotes,wolves? If you can be more specific maybe some of us can help you along.

I like my bait in the wide open for coyotes and wolf, they have no problem findin it and they seam to enter and exit the brush line nice and fast just to get out there and then get back in, witch makes them less likely to notice my snares. once I find a spot I look around to see were I can snare in the brush, and try to make it so they will come threw the brus to get to my pile. One spot I have a pile this year in on an old road going threw a bout a 60 acker patch of brush with 100 ackers of open field all the way around it, I put the bait in the middle and I snare all the way around the out side and some places inside it too. Hope this helps alittle.

Like anything some baits work better in some spots than others
My favorite is in the mixed hardwoods,But i also set up in the
evergreen thickets and do well.
Once you get them coming,,you just got to catch them.

The only bait stations I have used are natural to an extent. After deer season, many times I will find dead deer that were wounded and never found. At times the yotes or fox will be hitting them very hard. Once in a while I will set them, but the smaller furbearers will drive me nuts for a while. Snares, i have found, are best, as they can be set in all trails leading to the carcass, and possums and such will pass along under them.
