Did snipers ever set traps around a certain area around themselves to protect themselves from being ambushed while waiting to shoot?

It seems like a somewhat practical thing while waiting possibly hours to shoot someone.

Hi, could you specify where/when/who you're asking about? Snipers of a particular nation during a particular battle? This info will greatly help identify and focus those who may be able to answer. Thanks!
