All trap set-ups were baited with a sprinkle of Shake Away (a commercial animal scent consisting of bobcat and coyote urine granules) and a 2 cm cube of beef liver, which was placed in the center of the scent station area... Each study site contained six randomly placed trapping stations ≥ 100 m apart" of which two included camera traps, which "were switched between trapping stations" nightly
