After we found nothing in the traps, the others returned but Judy Gradwoll +I walked along the rim and down into the valley in the vicinity of JL's gopher fields. We then returned to see what was going on. As nothing was, I went up to Ron Mumme's cabin where Ed Heske, Steve Sherwood + Judy Gradwoll had already gone. Stayed there ca ± hr., + then went down to the lab where several people were skinning rodents. Soon lunch time rolled around and afterward Ed + I set out a trap for a Rabbit (Sylvilagus auduboni) we had seen and caught it within 10 minutes-while we stood around and watched the trap.
