M.V.Z. Berkeley Calif. In Aug 1960 my wife & I and two other couples chartered a boat in Vancouver, B.C. for a two weeks trip cruising through the inland passage of B.C. From Aug 13-27 we traveled the length of the passage. Went as far north as Kingcome Inlet. At night we would anchor in various bays and usually I would row ashore and put out 25-30 mouse traps. At this time there was a high in the Peromyscus population so that I took almost a 100% catch every night. The next day we would travel & I would skin mice enroute. All animals were measured, skinned, wires put in tags & tails and skins filled with table salt. The skins were then wrapped in cellophane packets. Upon returning to M.V.Z. the salted skins were frozen for future preparation. Well the future preparations didn't take place till the spring of 1962. The skins were thawed & all the salt rinsed out with running water. Very little salt on the hair side.
