0.2 miles south mission la soledad,
Monterey Co. California
2 December. 9:50 PM. Established camp ~ 2pm
today adjacent to irrigated pasture
where gopher activity looks high.
re < 1week
mound densities (nearly all fresh)
old
are high -> probably from 20 to 50 / acre.
The pasture is bounded by the
KITZ MILLER RD - Fort Romie Rd intersection
immed. to the NW. The owners were
glad to give permission to me, provided
I took the gophers I captured with me.
Haven't much choice with the kill-traps.
The pasture is ~ 20 acres, composed
mainly of clover and (unk) grass in
varying relative densities. Ground cover
is 100% except where gopher mounds
surface. Cover height is ~ 7-13 cm.
