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
