For yotes, a dirt hole set is the best for me. Caution: yotes are the hardest to trap, because you can leave
NO human scent. Rubber gloves & boots, boiled & waxed traps, no smoking, chewing, or vehicles. Their sniffer is way better than a deer.

For bait I use cut road kill, or any of the bottled lures. Set the traps along trails or field edges where there has been tracks, where you can see the set from a distance if there is any thing in it or not without disturbing the area. Another way is to hang road kill from a fence line, set a trap on either side, & sift dirt(I prefer dry gopher mound dirt) over the trap. Try to hang it where there is a known crossing about 10' away.
Cats are easier. They are sight feeders primarily, so you find tracks/trails where they hang out, hang a
white (preferably) chicken feather about 2/3 foot off the ground, with a 1 or 2oz lead weight 1" above it.(so the wind will move the feather and not blow it up into the tree/bush. Bury the trap underneath, and sift with dirt(as above). Form a V with sticks/small logs to lead the cat into the trap. & scatter more sticks/rocks all around the outside of the V. Cats don't like rough ground. If you keep the dirt in the V smooth, leading to the trail where you found tracks, they will stay in the smooth part until they reach the trap. For bait, I use salmon cat food or a commercial lure. Set the trap pan extremely light. They are lightning quick.
Tricks for both:
1- Always put the trap off-center to the bait. as the animal comes to the bait, it will have its nose centered on the bait with a foot on either side. You want the foot in the center of the pan.
2.Try to set the trap/bait/entrance where the animal is coming either up or downwind. never crosswind unless there is no option.
Thats a pretty basic tutorial for now. If you want to get into drowning sets, box traps, pvc sets,culvert sets, ***** or whatever we can address that later.
