Sept. 12-13 Justice Park.
Pocket gophers were noted
to be working any where there
was small soil areas above
the rock slides and on the
very top of the mountain
itself.
Our gopher sets were all on
the steep gravelly, sage brush
covered mountain side below the
area of loose rock. Only two
gophers were trapped by 11:30
A.M. when the traps were taken
up.
We rushed into the mnt. early
without collecting the overnight
catch and these were gathered
at noon Sept. 13 with following
results:
23 - Peromyscus - 2 and more.
6 - M. mordax - 4.
5 - Eutamias amoenus- 4.
8 - Gophers - 2
Started home at 3 P.M.
This day, Edward Leonard shot a
stripped skunk about 2 week
prior to this date, September 12,
and buried it there. It was
taken under a nearby cabin.
