Pearson 1986 24 other places, Surprised to not see more animals solid night hunting. 3 hours (8-11) with the moon up and 3 hours (5-8) after moonset revealed only 6 or so animals, all with just light and some with NVGs. Saw arm bladers or Audubon's towhees near camp with NVG; it seemed roughly from brush clump to brush clump. No wind all night. The most droppings of R are found on bare or very smooth short vegetation around the edge of Berberis Patch. April 24 4 hours PM (off road to Microsoft, or last night), Full moon but cloudy, no wind, started to rain at 8 pm (just dark). Stopped 10-10:30 where I hunted mostly with NVGs. Oryx group in a sage brush thicket set over a shallow hole. Saw settling with NVG, two with spotlight. No longer raining at 3:00; cloudy calm. Hunted until 5:30. Saw a half-dozen Rattlers, all by spotlight. Only one grazing out in open, the others very shy and in or close to brusher, Shot 1, traffed 1. As before, If a mouse was seen at one spot, it was likely to be within a few meters of that spot later. Saw 2 within 5 mm. The NVGs are no good for finding them under these hidda conditions. Only 6 sheep in this camp. Two mores on the rye field camp; heard lame owl. #86-9 shot near camp: 211 x 87 x 34 x 25 83g Virgo Spot, imp. small, interne 1/2 mm, no score = null life
