Wesley Plumb 1973 Journal 160 22 Aug 300 km NW Villa Hayes rd, Dept Baquerá, Paraguay. Many of the gray foxes are of the red headed ones. Martini been having bad luck mostly due to weather. But not trying to net one walk a mistake. Lovett described his steel trap method. He drag a dead carcass from a distance of up to a mile, upto the trap. Then bury it. Set the trap in shallow hole 6-8" away, cover with plastic to keep dirt from under the tread, them sprinkle w/ dirt. Fish drop catle, fox, other meat anything. Consider 5-10% trap success good. Result of method is that it looks like something has buried a kill & also stuff comes to dig it up & get caught. 23 Aug Went out w/ Covell. He picks his trapsites about at random. Paving locally into river bed are particular good. Lots of tracks along the R Verde near their camp. Pig, deer, cats, mustelids, atopi. Saw a croket. Heather broke & cleared mid morning. Weather up temp 25-27 in mid afternoon. S. E winds. 290 km NW Villa Hayes rd, Dept Baquerá, Paraguay. Loma Thaw again. Weather was murky headed we'd better return & met the fox near the house & do well near the cookhouse where we heard one. Walked over to the coral & listened, heard nothing.
