J. Rogers 107 Frank Clarke Ranch, 7mi. SW. Laytonville Mendocino Co., Calif. Mar. 31, 1938 Mr. Clarke had already gutted the bear. He said that the stomach was empty. We skinned it, leaving the head and lower limb bones and feet in the skin. Then we cut nearly all the meat off of the bones, separated the limb bones and the pelvic and thoracic parts of the main axis. We tied the skin in a bundle, hung it from a limb and hung newspapers over it. Joe said that the newspapers swinging in the breeze would keep coyotes away. We left the meat in a pile right where we cut it off, put the bones in three sacks and carried them back up the hill to the road house. We carried the trap back to where it had been set. Carl and I spent another hour hunting for amphibians and reptiles that we could find under boards, and at about 7:15 we had supper with Mr. Clarke and Joe. Virginia waited on me, and ate her supper in the kitchen. During the meal and afterward until 10 o'clock, Mr. Clarke was glad to exchange discussion of the bear and general wild life situation for answers to his queries
