Blind sets are good and you should bury the traps so they will be level when set. Make sure that it is bedded soildly so if the animal steps on the one of the jaws it won't tip and spook them. Cover the trap with dirt and blend it with leaves , grass, etc. so that it looks natural. Place a small stick on either side of the trap about 2-3 inches so when the fox steps over the stick, he'll place his foot right in the trap. You can use a dirt hole set off to the side of the trail as well, and this may work better, sinc ethe animal will be more apt to spend mor etime in the area investigating the hole and the odors coming from it.
