Wainwright, Northern Alaska
Aug 13 As has previously happened, todays morning catch was extremely large
41 for both lines III and IV.
Took a walk about a mile and
a half west along the tundra, turned
south for a half mile and walked
back to the village about 500 yards
away from Crawford's school building
(when I'm staying) I finally saw
the Dovitchups again and this time we
able to obtain one which was prepared
as a study skin. I have been taking
a .410 shotgun into the field with me
every time I go out. Four lemmings
were seen on this walk.
Traps were checked starting at 1930 and at the same time I
picked them up. Very few lemmings
were caught in this evening check
finished retrieving traps at about
2100. Saw three lemmings while
retrieving the traps.
I will leave Wainwright tomorrow.
no snowy owls were seen on my
stay at Wainwright and about 25
gargers were seen per day.
In reference to the one Dovostory.
