Lots of pig sign especially among forest bromeliads (rooting & tracks & feces). Shot a chaveta & adove, saw adeer. Same nets, caught 4 Noctili leporius early. Also saw many flying just before dark. One of the 4 left a nearly- chewed frog in the field. Cold but only dawn to 7°C. Mostly clear - some bright clouds. Moon is nearly full. Hunting at night has been very dismaging, despite the abundant tracks. Repeated trips from 3 PM to midnight have revealed very little. Just hit the pecaries. This evening a night monkey in distant & inaccessible tree. Very quiet - seldom hear crashes. No howler goatsuckers. Is activity depressed due to the cold all year? Day trip similar. Saw very little.

Nothing in steel traps. 6 mice in snaptraps. One
