I would do it the way you have drawn out if I was trying to get a quick check in every day and was able to leave traps out for a while. After a few days with no action move them around and rotate 2 or 3 spots that are easy quick drive by checks. It may not be the best way if you were trapping for fur numbers and had a short time to catch them but for predator control and long term it sounds good.
I think what I’m gonna do is leave my traps out like they are now until it runs cold and I don’t get any more catches for several days in a row. Then I’m gonna move them a few hundred yards and see if I pick up any additional catches around the beaver swamp. If I don’t then I’ll know that I likely got them on all with the original line.
