April 29 (cont)
Rest RC & MC traps from 1530-1630h and then had dinner at Walt & Jamie's place on Jessaya Road.
* Added Smoor traps each to RC west & east drift fences.
Tonight dumped out - I feel terrible and need some sleep, so we'll go out earlier in am.
April 30
0600h - out checking traps on GRID WR. Moon is <1/4 full in eastern sky, partly cloudy, low 50's. More traps closed this am (expected), but overall good results. Bled new Pp (#1549) in field and released her (see app acct). Started checking traps on RC drift fences by 0800h. Most traps on north end of west fence closed who mouse - result of early trap setting. Finished MC drift fences by 0910h. Spent rest of am taking vag. smears and collecting pup tail-tips (see app acct)
