If a location is good enough for one set it's good enough for two or more. You can't catch doubles and tripples ver easy in only one trap. I always make at least two sets/location. One trap per set is all I use though.

like adc said. you should be able to put at least two in every location. even if they're only 10' apart, or on opposite sides of the trail/road or field opening.

I had 2 traps set here. You can see the badger catch circle and I caught a opposum the day before, and was rushed for time and didn't get it remade, but I had one working set already in the ground. Had I not had that other set, I wouldn't of gotten that badger, unless he would come by later, but I don't want to deal with weather shutting down my traps, and I want to catch them the first time they're working the set!

Why waste time checking one set when you could check 2 or 3! Like has already been said if it is good for 1 it is good for a few!!
