49 mouse + rat traps caught 23 & 29
perognathus. One steel set caught
nothing. Caught one meadow rat trap &
926 Raven 78.5 g & shot our camp sps-
today after noon.
927 Motoca & 142. g 332-147-32-27
Cought under nest in Iron wood tree.
I took in my twenty mouse traps today
but there are still 29 rat traps out
plus one steel set.
I shot two Bats to night both the
small black sand bats. I saw
several of what I judge to be
the Mexican fruit bat I shot
one Mocking bird to day in the
oasis. My hunting and trapping
is limited to this oasis I have
to go thers for water twice a
day, The mocking bird is the
only bird that came within
range of my gun today.
This camp is strangely
quiet as these bird call
far and few between and
no insect life except the
blow flies and a few mato
and a stray mosquito.
