RE: coon trapping
personally on my sets I set the trap and as usual sift dirt over it. Then I mound up some dirt by the trap, take my fingers and poke a hole about four inches deep in it. I then take a small piece of paper towel or napkin and drip a few drops of skunk scent on it, and shove it into the hole. then I cover the hole with a few broken up sticks or grass. Curiousity gets em every time.
