I was taught to burn the paper after you wipe and then cover the ash and dookie with the dirt excavated from the cat hole.
I think the reason we see TP more this time of year is that the fall foliage season brings out a lot of folks who have never hiked or only go on a hike once or twice a year. That is when I find the most fresh paper on the trail. I honestly think it is mostly females peeing as I rarely see or smell a steaming pile near the paper. So really it does not worry me much as there are no big nasties in urine.
In the spring you find the paper remnants from the winter hikers on the peaks and around tent sites but not on the trails. Those are from BM for sure and you do well to avoid the general area where you find paper.
Yellow snow should not be covered up as you want to know where not to scoop up snow for melting and exactly what snow not to eat. : )
Now to eat my lunch!
