Pics at the top tell most of the story. How many do you need?
Dukes DogProof traps. Ebay and Amazon are the best prices Ive found lately.
We add 1' of chain and an EZlink (or two) to connect them to feeder legs, feedpen tposts, etc. We have found if we add more than a foot they can move around too freely and sometimes get up in your feeder or solar panel. 1' is perfect. We've had them cut bailing wire and even untie it so we went with the chain. Plus its a PITA to do and undo every time.

Setup
You can see one still set on the back pole here.

Stick with the Dukes. I made the mistake of buying Flemmings dog proof self-setting traps. Most of them worked before they got a little seasoned, then none of them did. When I called them about some of the new ones being impossible to set, they told me to take a file to them. I'm sorry, but, when I buy a self-setting trap, I expect to be able to set it without the use of a file.

I love em... and they are dang sure effective even with the one way trigger.
