I've only caught a couple. One was in the woods with the trap set at openingof a hollow stump. The other was a dirthole set under a round bail of hay on the edge of woods. I think that i was using canned Jack Mackeral on both occasions. The only problem is that with that kind of bait you will also get any possum or skunk that comes along. But then again you might also get a coon or coyote as a consolation prize.
