This PM on GRID WC I dusted # 1460, lacting, with GREEN
powder at station 8, 17, and # 1351, 38.5g, not lactating, with
Orange powder at 9, 12 - Female # 020 was caught in
a trap at 11, 5 by the posterior ~3cm of tail and rolled
down the hill ~1km. I clipped off her tail that was badly
mangled (froze it the next day) and released her in relatively
good shape.
# 1497 ♀ SAD, mullip, 32g. Ear-tagged. GRID WC, St 11, 16. Next am -
She was covered with very fresh RED powder from #8. Not sure
if she is offspring, but note that 1464 was caught at this
same station 25-Jan with RED powder. Need to check
DNA to see if 1497 & 1464 are offspring of 020
Tissues coll.
