I didn't reset Trapline VII. 220 h - Began my allnight chases... Cloudless night, calm, mid-60's, no moon yet. See grid data for trapping results (Oct 4). Closed all traps station 10,7 2300 - Dusted F, 1991 with ORANGE. I tried the "shake & bake" approach which doesn't work well because she jumped around so much, the dust got in her eyes. Try it with a brush! Anyway, she headed west under a rock which I flagged. I caught her by hand & attempted to brush/ wash the powder from her eyes. Not much luck 1952 2400 - [illegible], Q B, B. DUSTED DARK GREEN. I dusted this animal by hand with a weed. Washed O.L. It escaped into the log at the trap and I didn't see go out or nor could I catch a fluorescent trail. Hopefully, it is still inside the log.
