protection during the day. Four
sets had been made
yesterday in a small
enclosure, perhaps fifteen acres,
where there was no cattle.
About five acres of this plot
was grass and the remainder
carbon brush. Trails hither
and thither throughout the
field and in the dust were
many coyote tracks. At one
place at the edge of the grass
and brush was a water
hole that had recently dried
up. The ground was worn
heavily smooth around this
place and there were coyote
droppings all about. The
coyote that was caught, No. 12260,
was trapped between two
trees in the grassy patch.
Late in the afternoon we
returned to Boro Mogote mountain
and made an unsuccessful
attempt to draw coyotes with
blatting kids. Then we
hunted all night, that is
we hunted until nearly
morning then laid down
to be bitten by ants until
the sun came up. George
