Feb 20 1927 was feeling better so went to look at traps that I had setting but got nothing some traps were throwed Van Rozaem went with me to shoot quail I had seen on 17th I shot one then on coming down thru brush I was walking down a cow path and a fox no 12 562 jumped out in it in front of me about 20 yds from me I had only no 10 shot so I banged away but thought I never got it it ran on down path about 30 yds and then fell dead no 12 563 was caught on east mt, slope in thick ferns and grass in trap. no 12 564 was captured alive by natives and was brought to me that way this being a female the only one we have from up here so far was glad to get it. Feb 21. 1927 I went to look at traps but had nothing in them, took some of them up and reset them. then went and looked for quail for Van but could not find any so I returned to the house.
