The best thing for yotes in January are snares.   If you're going to do footholds that's a whole different ball game.   Hay sets will be a great winter set for dogs.   Lots of wax paper!   Bed your trap over wax paper with a wax paper pan cover.   LDC lures will shine in winter paired up with urine.   Good luck and keep us posted.
