I used to run traps when I was a kid in junior high. I used the metal traps like you see in all the cartoons, I never did anything other than set them and put them in rabbit holes. I got rabbits and skunks - no bait, no trying to hide my scent, no nothing but set it and put it in the hole. (Well, I did use a stake to keep it from being dragged off.)

shrug - I don't know as I'd call this wise input, but I'm not sure animals are smart enough to avoid human scent at all times or at all costs.
