If they are beded properly ,with a nonfreezeing cover don't make tracks in the snow too close when you check them. A small amount of snow just helps hide them better. Lots of snow you will need to re make your sets.

Best advice is to mark them so you can find them after it snows because EVERYTHING looks the same and unless you make a catch it will take a long time to find those sets. I use something inconspicus like a small a small stick not native to that area or a thread/twistie on a weedstem placed about 2 feet behind the set. Personally, anything over an inch of snow covering my sets is too much and I remove it with a head of a broom I carry. I don't remake the set, just brush off the top layer of snow and I find that the dark colored dirt against the white landscape is a great K9 attractor.

If you drive to your sets, try to put your tire tracks as close to the set as possible. If you need to get out and do anything to the set, drive past the set and walk back to the set, staying in your vehicle tracks. This is for 2 reasons, deters theft and the animals won't see your tracks... I have found, on numerous occasions where fox travel my truck tracks right to a set....
