Feb 9, 1927 Concluded I then went to another trap I had set at the same day but further up along the same ridge under a large tree that had fallen down. The roots extended several feet out on each side of trunk of tree. Here I saw some kind of a den that had been used quite often so I set trap in run a few feet from mouth of den and covered it with some rotten leaves and dirt. When I came to this trap I noticed that I had caught some thing but could not see what it was so I climbed upon roots and there it was with one front foot in trap and the other it had up in tree and was standing up on hind legs. It had heard me coming and was looking for me. This was a very large male hog nose skunk no 12493. This male skunk was very fat.
