for the upper shoulders (allowing for some hip droop due to an uphill shot) and fired Tom Kucera's 30-06. The pig squealed and charged into the canines and continued squealing. We sent Toke in after it and followed but we couldn't find it. I should have been more patient and waited for a closer shot. Next time I will.
2200 PST Started checking the traps I set at H22, 79-100 B and #134. At 17 of the 19 houses I gave the rats a choice between traps baited w/ crushed corn and crushed corn with a slice of apple. I didn't have any double captures (too early also a very bright moonlit night) and I caught nothing at 3 houses. Of the remaining 14 houses, woodrats chose the apple-baited trap by an 11:3 margin. (X2 = 7.48889, .05 < p < .1)
There were no surprises other than the capture of #1694-95 (200g) at H.91A. She was last captured at H.91A on April 12th '88 (weighing 100g) and at H.91A on March 30th (60g). Both of those houses have been trapped on numerous occasions since then. Where has she been?
D>1762-63 fell c. 15' from the Live Oak that contains H.100 A (40' up in tree). He seemed fine though and hopped away to another smaller live Oak on the NE side of the grove.
