" [[ditto for: July]] 3. Went to traps & hunted all of forenoon. Got one Onychomys, Two austerus, & some other things. – enought to keep me busy all of afternoon.
Didnt catch any Bever but found out one of their [[habbits?]]. They came & stopped up a hole that I made in the dam yesterday, made another hole & set trap in it.
