So, Cages only? Or can you flat set some footholds where they run?

Probably the salt. Might consider pressing some salt into the apple pieces

Sometimes it seems like a foothold can end up with a sprung trap and you find little more than a torn off rabbit leg as evidence.

For the ones I used to live trap, which were just loose domestics, a cage trap fenced off in a travel route worked best. I used long boards for fencing, like a couple of 12 ft 1x12s. You don't have to be right on a path, just a general travel route. If you block off a wide enough area, they'd rather go right through the "hole" in the middle than go around. We used funnel/ colony traps too and could catch a bunch sometimes. Bait didn't work very well in summer when they had plenty to eat.
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

If the cage traps are too small they won't go in. I've caught more bunnies in coon than bunny or squirrel size cage traps. Fencing helps, as does having double doors. Seen tracks in the snow where they kept trying to get in the back of a single door cage. Took a couple days until they figured it out! (No fencing, that end had the apples and was in thicker cover... my bad!!)
