We evaluated 11 attractants and one control (12 treatments total)" and monitored the baits using Reconyx digital cameras; "We placed scent stations at 200-m intervals within 30 m of roadsides and determined orientation relative to the road (right or left side) randomly by flipping a coin... During each season (Aug–Sep and Mar–Apr), we monitored each treatment for 30 days (i.e., we used 360 scent stations during each season)"
