Gullin 1949 Odocileus hemionus -1- Aug 11 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. - Chased a ♀ and a well grown fawn out of a willow-alder bottom about 100 yds NE of the Maple Creek Bridge (see Journal p. 116). They crossed the open Thistle covered field and road to go into cow along Maple Creek (9:30 a.m.) Aug 22 French Camp 3100ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. - At least 1 scared out of the draw above the small stream in the ridge s on the slope south of camp (see Journal p. 148). I heard a lot of noise yesterday in the Tan Oak forest that I suspect was made by deer, but didn't see any. Couldn't be sure, but the size of the hump of this animal surely looked big enough for a buck. Sept 9 Red Mtn., 5300ft. 14 mi Stayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. 3 bucks were flushed out from the base of a Jeffrey Pine when I fired at a Spotted Towhee. 1 was a forked horn and the other 2 both with 3 points. They had been lying down together. None of them went very far through the brome berrry, manzanita at first, but Cogwell scared them a moment later and they cleared out of the area promptly.
