Just started trapping

I just started trapping this last week. I purchased a dozen snares from the snare shop here in Iowa. I set them on small game trails at fence crossings. My farm is located in between two river channels in south western Iowa. The first night I caught a 25lb coon. This made me pretty happy. I set up another new snare same spot. The next day the stake was pulled out of the ground "14inch" rebar. I set up again same spot and the next morning my snare was broken???? I switched to a 3/32 snare and set up in the same spot. Next morning I have a nice male yote in there!!!! I took a picture and will post it this week. I have now fell in love with trapping. I look forward to each day checking to see what the catch is. Check back for a picture of the yote. I also wanted to ask a question. I know that fox have to travel the river bottoms by the house. Any tips on setting for just fox? I also have noticed fresh beaver sign I could use some advice for them also.
Thanks
