Trapping locations overlapping

How would you know someone else may be trapping in the area? 
If you find someone's trap it's one thing, but what if they pulled the traps earlier and then I come along and plop some traps down? 
It seems like there are not many of us but I know they are plenty and only so much land to trap.

I try to leave one flag at the parking spot I use to let other trappers know the spot has been trapped. I normally use white or yellow surveyor ribbon, not fluorescent, so it doesn't stand out but it is easily seen if you are looking for it.

Over here there's a couple of us and we know each other's areas and we talk and help each other out ! I would say we are friends but I'm not going to claim them

There are far fewer trappers today than back when we could use "regular" steel.  There are plenty of critters out there and lots of territory comparatively.  If you are seeing sign from your intended target(s) and not seeing/ running into someone in the area, you should be good to go.

That is what I figured but kinda like to get some input, I never think i am far enough away from anyone in the wet side.

Well, think of it this way. When I was the County Rep. of Okanogan County, Back in 1980, I had 200 licensed trappers in that county. I only ran into one other trapper in 3 yrs.

For beaver and rats the premium trap placement spots are generally so obvious you will notice in minutes if there are any sets there.   For yote , mink and coon not so much.

Mark your territory by urinating in it. A good trapper will be able to smell your scent and will respect your area.

If you smell skunk you know Danny's truck is near
