General Account
From the 24 traps I took
6 Peromyscus truei.
This evening at 4:45, we
heard the voice of the first
coyote.
The weather today - Clear this
morning, cloudy at noon and
a small rain about 3:00 with
with continued clouds.
Jan.9 From the more traps I
took 2 Peromyscus truei.
This morning I went
with Donald Tapper over the
steel trap lines (35 traps). His
sets were made generally in
or near the canyon covering a
distance of from 3 to 4 miles.
They were excellent sets, the only
objection being that the traps
was placed on too low at
the left. From these steel
traps this morning we took
1 Brown Squirrel and 1 Gray
Fox.
This afternoon C.I. Oldrick
and I set the 24 gopher traps
along Whit River about ½ mile
below the Whit River store.
They are set in sandy soil
along the creek bed.
The weather has been
unsettled today. Cloudy this
