P.A. Kelly 1986 Journal April 1, 1986 Hastings Nat. Hist. Res., Carmel Valley, Monterey Co, CA. Left HVZ @ 1.30pm, arrived Hastings 4.30pm after stopping off in Salinas for supplies. 4 from 5-6 pm set 2 traps (limited w. COB) each at H2os 1, 3, 25, 47, 49, 51 ; 4 @ H 50, 453/56 ; 6 @ 5-9; and 1 ea @ 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23. Saw a med. sized Bobcat in good condition bound across the Highway (G16) about 2 mi north of Martin Rd. 4 from 8-11pm caught 11 rats (see Field Notes). Also had a 13g juvenile in trap with F 2267-1045 at H.1. Appeared dead (very cold, didn't detect a heart beat), however it recovered in the warmth of my breast pocket. Fed with a little milk and returned in a tissue nest to basal entrance of H.1 @ 10.49pm. April 2, 1986 Was still there but dead the following morning at 6 am. Took Liver, Ht & Kidney for tissues and fresh as a skeletal spec. (cat # 131). 10.15 AM. Sedated F> 2253-1062 (H.19) with Metofane (Methoxyflurane) and attached a radio-collar (AVM [illegible]) SH1 with Hq-575 battery + loop antenna around neck). I also used a (trimmed) 5 1/2" cable tie (potted beneath transmitter and battery) for secure attachment. Once the rat recovered, placed in 14"x12"x6" cage with cotton, COB, H2O & some Valley Oak leaves. Started eating, but continued to try to remove the collar.
