Hooper, 1986. 12 Mi. Cr., 5300 ft., ½ mi. E Calif. line, Washoe Co., Nev. July 17, “down creek” One half a mile (approx.) from camp, I found a meadow about 200 yds. long. Water from the creek is diverted out over the meadow. Near the western edge of this meadow, about 60 ft. from rocky slopes a woodchuck was found. It was lying beside a small ditch containing water and was so well concealed by grass that I was within 15 ft. of him before I saw him. I shot both the 12 ga. (8 ch.) and 4/0 ga. (12 ch.) but the animal succeed ed in reaching its home in a tulus slope. Shot a sage hen in the Artemisia near the creek. Saw a young rattlesnake. ½ mi. N Vga, 6000 ft., Washoe Co., Nev.
