My 3
10 mile N wolf hole Mohave Co Arizona
Left for wolf hole at 8:00 am, arrived 5:00 pm,
414 miles covered. Weather is cloudy, some rain,
squalls reported, but dry at the trapping site.
some 9 mile S of the arizona-utah border. spent
2 hrs setting out 45 snap traps, 3 traps per
dunews complex
#1 set line of 48 down,
went to S of camp and
then N to level of camp.
#2 second line of 47 on flat
S of camp yield
was only 4 o mings,
one a juvenile and
I caught dry the leg
in the trap. 4 anchorys, 1 neotoma, 1 p longimanis,
and ca 12 peropcea also taken - I set
40 live traps in the area around camp,
20 S, 10 E and 10 X E of camp (see map).
In these 40 traps, took 13 D. microps (7 off sand)
9 D. merriami 1 perognathus parvus, 3 P. longimanis,
2 anchorys, and 1 neotoma lepida, for 29 animals
in 40 traps, somewhat better than my snap trapping
efforts. I fear I'll have to set traps around
camp to catch sufficient microps for stomach
contents data. The wind blew most of the night.
There was 1/4 moon, set ca midnight, and low temp
was 10.50C.
