Itinerary
Sept. 30 Mt. Veeder, 2400 ft., Napa Co., Calif.
boys, and live-oaks. Traps were
set for the most part on a heavy carpet
of fallen leaves, 5-10 yd. apart and
baited with oatmeal.
After setting out traps I drove
down to Sakaya Lodge and on the way
came upon a large buck deer which
had been recently hit by a car. Although
badly crippled it was still alive, but
unable to move. I therefore dispatched
it with my .22 pistol and secured its
skull and antlers. The locality was:
S.E. side Mt. Veeder, 2200 ft., Napa Co., Calif.
I camped for the night near where
the traps were set. A Sciurus griseus
was seen in a bay tree, but I was
unable to collect it.
Oct. 1 Huichica Cr., 200 ft., Napa Co., Calif.
The catch for last night's trapping
on Mt. Veeder was:
Peromyscus maniculatus 10734
Today I came back to Huichica Cr.
and made 4 sets for gophers, and
2 for moles. The traps were left
out for about 6 hrs. during the
day and Thomomys bottae 10718 were
caught in an orchard bordering the Cr.
