caught red backed Envtraps (Grapuys)
and chipmunk. Down to the high
gras swraks at the base of the rcks
the long tailed meercies which we caught
and the wood new camp is fairly about
out.
I. til enjoy the ride up the valley of the
withunt. When we are running such
a lot of traps it is unproprle to hunt big
game in the morning, so we start off
about 7.30. First we look at our other
traps which are set on the open hill side
of the main valley. Then when the specimens
have been measured or that the long tailed
errmists can get a thin work, we start
for the cone traps; The woods are beautiful
and we ride just within the edge looking
out over the banks in the bottom of the valley
for deer. When we reach that traps and
begin to go from east to west we always
gi together for it is half the funny trapping
when about each new one has a store for us.
We have caught 5 species an this one got
dont after 6 days we had about all there
was to get worth while so we sent the traps
back to camp and set some of them in
rocks close the vents. A
From the summit of the hill where we
climched when putting them out there is
a marvelous view down the main valley
