Field Trips.
Oct 31 - Nov. 1. 1931
Schutt's mine.
Took 3 boys and drove to the
cabin by way of North Pocatello
creek.
We trapped gophers, for the most
part. Seven specimens were taken.
Workings were thickest and most
of the specimens were taken on a
gravelly ridge over grown with
sage brush, with no fir tree
on it. We were up on the side
hill - about 200 yards from the
creek bed.
One pine squirrel, cat #
543, was collected and saved.
Killed one hack rat in the
cabin.
Trapping for mice was a complete
failure. The creek bottom had
been overrun by grazing sheep and
was eaten off and trampled until
the mice had no cover. No Mt.
muridae were taken where they had been
rather common formerly.
