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
