 I never worry about sets to close--I have had some 2 or 3 feet apart, with beaver in both the next day.
 One of the best was 8 set in a row --in less than 100 feet.* beaver the next morning.

 6 of the sets were castor mounds I made.1 was a dam crossover and the other was a small channel off of the dam.

one thing to remember- Tom uses mostly 330s-

with footholds on slides, make sure they are at least the length of the slide, plus 4-5 feet part- or you will, occasionally, get 1 beaver in both (or otter like happened to me this year)

And with footholds   the live beaver will chew the hell out of the dead bvr  even before he or she drowns if  drowner cable or trap set up allows  trapped bvrs to reach each other.....
