What I do is , I brush the snow away and make it look like some thing has just dug a fresh hole. it really stands out on the white snow. Then add a good squirt of urine , let some of it hit the snow, makes it look like a fox/coyote just peed on it.

Mike, rip up the area to make it look like a deer or turkeys were feeding in the area and digging down to bare ground for food. Just make a real mess and toss a bunch of dirt ontop the snow.
Inside that mess you can make a big blown out dirthole, a little poke hole, or a flat set. I lean towards the subtle stuff for coyotes and the big stuff for cats and fox. I like to have something skunky in an adjacent poke hole, but my trap guards either bait or gland lures. In other words I like to keep the skunk smell separate from something they might want to eat or dig up.
Don't forget hay sets too.
