A leg hold trap requires the excavation of a hole in the ground in which to put the drag hook, chain and trap. When digging your dirt hole, take care to set aside the top layer of soil that you remove. I carry a small tarp to place this soil on. You will want to put this back last to make the area look undisturbed where you have placed your trap. Make sure to dig the hole deep enough to accommodate your drag hook, chain and trap. Place the drag hook down in the hole first then coil the chain down on top of the hook. Sift some soil around the hook and chain at this point and pack it down. Next place the set trap on top of the chain/hook. At this point I sometimes use Peat Moss under and around the trap. If no peat moss simple use some sifted dirt. Place it snugly around the trap so as to prevent any unnecessary movement of the trap when the target animal steps on the trap. Now place a piece of crinkled up wax paper over the jaws and pan of the trap. This helps to keep unnecessary dirt from getting into the jaws/pan of the trap. Now sift a light layer of dirt over this and replace your top layer of soil gently around and on top of the trap. Make the area look totally undisturbed.
