Lie Arnold 1937 Spilogale phoenix June 13, 1/2 mi. W Smith Creek Cave, 6,000 ft. Tl T. Morrish, White Pine Co., Nevada In a #1 steel jump trap set for squirrels under an overhanging rock, I caught this immature male. Although the trap was baited with rolled oats I do not know whether or not he was in quest of the bait when he was caught. The exact spot where it was caught was on the west side of a rocky gully (small canyon) which was on the south side of Smith Creek Canyon. The principle vegetation consisted of Piñon and Juniper. It is interesting to note that a trap set about 20 feet below this one caught a porcupine the same night but because of it not having a strong enough grip on the animal it got away. The reason for my conclusion was the fact that the trap had long porcupine guard hairs and short quills in it. I am setting in the same habitat again tonight in hopes of catching another Spilogale or a Porcupine.
