1948
Aug 30 One in steel trap baited with mouse carcass. Bottom
of trap canyon on edge of stone beach, shot him with .22
from distance but some odor in evidence, Testes 12mm.
Flies, Stomach with arthropod remains
Aug 31 Two in steel traps. One squatted nicely while I was maneuvering
him into position for the coup de grace. Practiced at it a
"squeez" of scent as I had expected he squeats a few drops
rather large drops a distance of about 6 feet, The
fresh strong smell reminds most very strong raw
onions at first sniff. Both in good flesh, neither
with any vertebrate remains in stomach, one with
stone of the red-berried Photinia? [cornarataphylla]
Sept 2 One found dead at Christy Ranch. Too rotten for skin,
not rotten enough for skull
Sept 8 - One caught in thornwood had grapes, large
arthropods, and a mouse in the stomach,
