Field Trips
Sept. 7 - 1931.
One mile north of Fort Hall.
I left Pocatello at 5:30 P.M., Sept 6,
and drove to a location one mile
north of the village of Fort Hall, where
fine sand blows noticeably across the
Yellowstone Hi-way. I commenced
placing mouse traps about 2 rods
from the highway and continued to
place them about the same truck
in groups of four at intervals of
about 2 rods. 56 traps were
set in a line about 300 yards
long.
I reached the sets at 8 A.M.
Sept. 7, 1931. The catch was as
follows:
1 Grasshopper Mouse.
1 Lagurus.
6 Pocket Mice.
2 Chip Munks.
1 Reithrodontomys.
17 Peromyscus.
It was dusk when I finished the
sets and the chipmunks probably
entered unmolested traps during
the early morning of the 7th.
