10/29/1925 59 October 29, 1925- Traps today contained three Peromyscus and two Blue-tailed rats. While hunting along a ridge in the dense woods today Van startled a doe from behind a clump of brush. He estimated he weight at about 100 lbs. He was within thirty feet of her before she jumped. A foreman told me that the deer hide during the day in the cabin and in the dense jungle and come out in the early evening and feed during the night in the cotton fields. I hunted again during the night saw one skunk, and smelt two others but was unable to get any. October 30, 1925- I set eight large snap traps in a small patch of grass near a cane field.
