run transects across the study-site
from about H.25 to H.97. We started
at every third one of Patton's nearest
Long Field grid markers - ie. C59, A56,
A53, A50, C47, C44, D41, D38, C35, C32, C29.
We ran 11 transects in all, 30m apart
and noted dominant cover, extent of
canopy, and the position of the creek.
I must see Jim Griffin about getting
an accurate vegetation map of the study
site.
From 3.30-5.00, I put out the latest 20
Shelters, and set traps at both ends
of the field (see trapping record). Jim
Griffin brought me my extendable
aluminium ladder yesterday. It reaches
to 13.5 ft. although the MVZ apparently
ordered a 20.0ft one. Is someone trying
to save a few $?, or just, shit, it is 20'?
I also took a hike up
School Hill with rifle but didn't see any pigs
munching on the overwhelming corn crop.
From 7-9pm, I finished assembling the
remaining 20 trap shelters. I now have
100 ready for action, and 80 are already
in the field. I also intend to start using
10-20 of them immediately at outlying houses
looking for dispersers.
10.15pm: Started Checking Traps. Caught only 4.
