If your set was in the brush or along the edge of a field you probably had a rabbit in the trap. Proper pan tension is required to avoid non target catches. Mn winter predator trapping is a fight against weather conditions that can slow or keep a trap from firing. Trap preparation and coverings must used correctly or the set becomes useless. You will need waxed dirt or buckwheat hulls/dry dirt and a pan cover to keep a set working in freeze/thaw temps. I often pre bait dirt hole sets making sure that the dirt or snow in front of the bait hole will leave prints, then you know exactly where the pan needs to be.
