Feb 12 1927 I went up and looked at traps found a dog in one and others were undisturbed so I went hunting shot a squirrel in some small bushes and after that I saw nothing I and R.A. hunted until 4:30 in big timber but got nothing. R.A. shot a squirrel early in the morning also. this timber where we were is very thick and much fallen trees lay up on the ground covered with moss and other stuff making great places for animals to hide in day time so you cannot see them. I looked for some dens under old fall logs but could not find any or any signs of a den. In one place I noticed fresh muskrat diggings in some leaves close by a small stream of water we saw many birds up here in big timber today it being a clear day they were up in high timber. these skins about are no 12521 no 12522 and see R.A. Stilton notes for no 12523 as he caught it, don't know he set trap or nothing.
