Nov.11 0050hrs - I spent the evening in town this evening with an old friend (L Atwood) and didn't get back till late. Due to the late hour ain going to only check traps for #1943 F. It's clear, calm, moon is >1/2 full.
Caught #1941F at 9,13 - 160 pounds on legs, face, etc. Caught #1942 N.fuscipes at 10,12. Checked all traps around station 9,13 and headed home at 0100hrs.
0700 hrs - out checking traps on MC-1. It's clear, calm, cool (temp 40?). Caught a N. fuscipes by tail at W-9 (MC-1). It drag the trap 2.5m to the west, so I presume it was caught going in. I released (hopefully it will go to its nest) it back out since it was in poor shape. The tail sheath & tail were intact, but tawny. Caught #1943 at 9,12 (52g). She escaped into the old Netoma mullen about(s) the station. Finished checking traps by 0900hrs. Returned #1971 to lab to collect blood & tissues.
