If you can find trails here is something that works well for me. Set your 160 or 220 in narrow spot in trail , use 2 crossed sticks about 2 in. in diameter to stabilize and make animal drop down into trap. The way to cut back on refusals is to mix 1oz.concentrated clam oil mixed with 1 gallon cheap vegetable oil. Use this as a trailing scent. Squirt a liberal trail about3 feet on each side and thru trap. also take some vegetation and weave around trap to breakup outline. Make it look like a hole through the weeds. Only got to use this for 1 season do to regulations , but caught many coon , several gray fox and a couple of reds too. I had alot of refusals with bucket and wood cubbies . This works very well but you have to learn to identify trails. A good book for you would be Austin Passamonte High Volume Coon trapping. Good luck!
