Most amount of traps you set in one small area?

4 to 5 sets

Depends on what your target animal Is.

and sign and methods... I probably set on average, 2-3 footholds on average for yotes, same area with CR's 6-7

Around a creek or stream. Coon,mink.

21 underwater bank holes for Beaver
In 1/4 mile

I've made 6 or 7 on occasion, but usually 2-4. I tend to figure if a location is worth one set it's worth at least two.

fox and yotes--never less than 4 at a stop, coon and mink at least 3 in the water and 2 boxes on the top of the creek bank, at each stop

2 sets

For mink, If they run the bank or bottom edge I set (1) up and (1) down on each side so (4).

Several winters ago I set up a open water creek with 10 coon traps just far enough apart to not catch one twice. Next morning I had 6 coons waiting for me and 1 flipped trap. Other 3 were empty. Otherwise normally only set 2-4.

If I'm setting for mink coon and rats and I'm working bridges I will set at least 4 sets on each side of the bridge. set heavy catch as much fur as you can as soon as you can and move on.
