Belleue, Blaine Co. Idaho December 31, 1935 side of Wood River Canyon about a mile north of Belleue. In a certain aspen thicket in the canyon bottom we found tracks of cottontail but no rabbits were found although we beat through the dense thicket thoroughly. Gone remarked that last year he had shot 23 rabbits in one day in this one clump of aspens. Collected a female Bohemian Waxwing this afternoon. January 1, 1936 Visited the line of 8 mouse traps set on the rocky point above the mouth of Slaughterhouse Canyon. The recent snowfall had covered the traps with almost an inch of snow. One of the traps which had been set beneath a large Artemesia had been visited by a coyote. The fresh tracks in the snow showed that the coyote had approached the trap, then covered with snow, circled it, then sprung it and in some way carried it away for the trap was missing. It is hard to understand why a coyote should be interested in a trap baited with oatmeal. I doubt if there was a mouse in the trap for there were no rodent tracks near the trap.
