[[underlined]] Twin Oaks [[/underlined]] Dec. 23.

Rained hard in night got nothing in traps tho a coyote broke one of the old hard stiff chains and escaped and another pulled up chicken in new trap and escaped.
Another got out of old weak trap that I had been using to catch my finger.

Skinned coyote and cat for mounting.
Did not reset traps as it rained by spells all day.

A fine rain, about a half inch has fallen and soaked the ground well.
