several gophers eaten up when found only a small part was left of them they we pulled back in hole as far as trap would let them go we was just wondering if their could be such a thing as them eating one another. Could not see any tracks around hole where gopher was caught this is down at 650ft where I had gophers eaten. have also had them eaten up in rain forest but could see tracks of animal up their in soft dirt where trap was set it looked like a cat track near as we could make out. Have set traps for this their but haven't gotten any thing so far Feb 15 1927. went and set traps for gophers. Also caught a skunk up on Hill at 7000 ft high in trap that I set along a fence and close by trail that we also going up and down trail to top of mountains I set trap they put some blood meal around trap which evidently attracted the skunk to it by the smell
