Canon del Alamo 1300 ft, Sierra del Nido, Chik,
Mex.
June 19, 1959
Took a coyote in stub set at water hole.
He had a bit of excitement as Alden started
him from the trap site and he took off in
high gear with trap and drag. He soon
tangled up in some scrub oak before Stark
took a shot at him.
June 20, 1959
Stark & I went into the main Canon del
Alamo to make some stub sets since
he had found a lion track in area
yesterday. Alden had spotted 2 spring stub
traps left there we find by the foreman
of this ranch. We arrived on the canyon
floor trail and lo behold a lion had
travelled the trail last night. We made
4 stub sets in about 1/2 mile of trail.
2 were baited with canned sardines & 1
with a coyote carcass. While making
the sets we each took a Trojan - 2
different genera. 1 Stub set by water hole
was sprung with what looked like body
hair of coyote. No explanation.

This camp is running low on meat so Stark
& I were seriously looking for turkeys or deer
this A.M. Nada! Stark did get one turkey
so the record still holds 7 someone
