Sep. 21. A clear frosty morning & warm day. 

Caught 3 A. pallidus, only one full grown.

Hunted in morning & took a few specimens, skinned them & at noon broke camp & went 5 miles west over on Willow Creek to try & kill a deer to make our provisions hold out.

Reached Willow Creek in time to skin a few things & set out some traps & hunt awhile before dark. Camped in old shed. Thick timber of pine, spruce, & popple all around.

" [[ditto for: Sep.]] 22. Got out early & hunted a few hours, didnt get much, saw no deer but tracks are numerous. Caught nothing in traps but Tamias quad. & Hesperomys.
Packed up & started for the ranch at 9 A.M.

Saw a bunch of about 10 Antelope on the plains but didnt get any. Saw a flock of Sage hens & killed two, young of the year; had them cooked & were very good but tasted of Artemesia.

Reached the ranch at 1:15 & went to work stuffing the skins saved. Worked at them till 10 P.M. & finished all of the smaller ones & skinned some squirrels.

Got a letter calling me to Ogden on the 26th.
