From my short experience with wolves, 3 yrs, they are not like coyotes. Coyotes walk in man made trails, wolves seem to always avoid walking where I walked. So what I did for the first time last year, with good result, is prep the site in the summer. I cut a trail for my sled to minimize the amount of time I spend near the bait, no more walking around, less sent and less signs. I hang my snares within 10 feet of the trail around the perimeter, I approach the snares perpendicularly (I don't walk on their trails) and get off the machine only to collect a catch or fix a snare.
