Feb 6, 1927
I skinned no 12452 and salted
it and put up 2 Heteromye &
a peromyscus that was caught
up in the Oak Rain forest. then at
night I took my light and Hunted
up in mountains but never saw
any thing. the Clouds began to
come down about 11 o clock so I returned
to the house.
Feb 7, 1927
I caught a Coon in a trap out it
got away it pulled out of a no 2 jump
trap that I had set in a large mountain
spring that has a very thick growth
of bushes & ferns around it.
no 12478 was caught in a trap
that was baited with a robin and
set under a large log in dense bushes &
ferns up in Oak Rain forest at 800ft
alt. these mammale had been taking
mice out of traps and eating them, We have
noticed several traps that had only some
hair in them and all bloody while
they had evidently had eaten them
and we saw their tracks in
soft dirt and in the trails in the
dust. this one specimen no 12478 was
very fat when I skinned it which
showe that they feed very well up
in these forests
