So many old timers will just say "I don't know it just looked right" .

Well actually it was more of an educated guess. This was the first year I tried to catch a fox and I read that they used the edge of fields for roads... If you were to walk straight out of the woods, there is a small field bordered by a road, so to prevent people from seeing it I had to make the set just inside the woods. Plus that's were our property ends and our house is not too far up the left of there, so I had to put it as far away as I could. I had aslo seen some rabbits and mice around and I figured alot of hungry foxes might be attracted to the area...even though I had never even seen a fox or tracks around there, it felt like a good spot. I actually caught 4 foxes in that area.
