J. Rodgers 105 Frank Clarke Ranch, 7 mi. S.W. Laytonville, Mendocino Co., Calif. March 31, 1938 Joe led the way and pointed out indications of the path of the bear. It should be noted here that later investigation showed the trap to be about 59 inches long, and attached to it by a chain, was a pole about 8 feet long, 4 inches in diameter at one end and 3 inches at the other. At the heavy end a branch about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter and about 14 inches long, forms a hook. The trap was fastened near the other end. about 59" about 8 ft. The trap and drag together made a heavy load for two of us, one on each end of the drag and the trap hung in the middle. The weight could have been well over 100 lbs. The bear had been trapped (March 30) in the same place and with the same dead sheep as bait; the small bear had been trapped (March 27). With the big trap and drag on its left foot, the big bear ran 70 feet upstream, over a 6 ft. bank and into the creek. There it apparently turned back on its course and back up the bank.
