W.C. Russell Cañon del Alamo, 1300 St., Suisa del Nido, Chile, Mex. June 24 1959 Took a wildcat in a trail set. Found a pile of fresh droppings some 50' below he arrived at trap. I had placed fresh lion droppings beside this trap. This cat had a woodrat and a large ground squirrel in stomach. Have switched to scent made with rotten brains on the 4 so called lion sets in canyon. Using carcass is too inviting to vultures. One being caught in at baited with coyote carcass. No sign of lion activity last night. Hope he hasn't moved on. June 25 1959 It looked like a repeat performance of our experience in the Carmen Mts. several years ago, with lions. Namely, a lion spends several days in the same area and then he moves on. This lion here was in the canyon for about 4 days, judging from tracker's droppings. Now for the last 3 nights there has been no sign at all. It looks now as though we'll never catch him as we move in 2 days. Another bit of evidence that points to a rather long time between return trips is the nature of the droppings. All piles droppings left on this trip were placed on or near obviously old piles.
