(cont.) One coon climbed a manzanita bush,
one climbed a digger pine and the hounds
killed the third. I shot the one in the bush.
The coon in the tree remained there during
an absence of ten minutes, and was then
shaken out and killed by the old hound
and a young hound. This was done to
provide training for the young hound.

Traps were set about a dead chicken
near the house. A very fat skunk was
caught under ordinary circumstances.
81. ♀ Mephitis 605-290-70-28.
Dec. 1, 1933.
After walking about two miles up Cold
Fork Creek, at about 11:00 P.M. my hound
started on a hot trail. In 15 or 20 minutes
he had tied a coon in a hollow white
oak tree. The hound voluntarily re-
mained at the tree while I returned to
the house for an axe and the pup.
On returning, I chopped the tree down.
