Feb 8, 1927 I looked at traps that I had set but got nothing. Have five sets for cats baited with catnip oil and along beside trail that we saw tracks but have never caught any yet but see tracks nearly every morning I go to look at traps in the trail I cannot set traps in trail on account of the natives using it every day to drag wood down it Feb 9, 1927 I went to look at traps it having rained the night before I noticed cat & coon tracks in the trails along where I had traps set a few feet away, but never got any cats upon visiting one trap I had set at a hole in a step bank in oak rain forest I found that this trap held a large female hog nose skunk No 12492 this trap had been set three days before at this hole so cannot say whether or not this is a den or not. Close by where I set trap I noticed where some animal had been digging in moss and soft ground which I took to be these skunks
