Salt 1947 Journal Cammati Creek, 1450 st., San Luis Obispo Co., Calif Sept. 1. Checked Badger trap. Some sort of thing ate most of the meat off. The carcass I put there yesterday without disturbing either traps or carcass. There were no tracks about that I could see to give a clue as to the animal or bird responsible. Skinned the linnets I shot yesterday. Then drove down to water tank for a shot at the doves. Today is the first day of dove season and many friends of the rancher here are in here for dove hunting. Drove past the water tank and collected Horned Larks. About dusk, the doves began to come in to water. Went out by camp and all four of us took a crack at them all in addition to the regular hunters. Dr. Miller got 4 and I got 1. Sept. 2. Broke camp and drove to Pozo to Ranger guard station to get permission to enter the closed section of national forest. Then drove to La Panza Ranch, met Eben McMillan and drove to cabin in Martinez Canyon. Set out steel trap before dinner. Heard Poor-willers and Canyon's Wrens.
