Had 2 chew outs though. Not sure what else I could have done on the set to get a better catch. Frustrating.

Awesome things are working out for ya. Sometimes chew outs are because their head is low and that puts the snare around the top of the nose and in the mouth allowing them to chew out. Put a “chin up stick” a short skinny stick almost grass like in size stick under your snare loop stuck in the snow right up to bottom part of the snare wire. Forces them to bring their head up and into your snare. Could also be the other way snare loop to low. If the set is closer to the bait then their head is naturally lower the closer they are to the bait getting more cautious and curious sniffing the ground and such.
Are you using power rams?
