Used up the forenoon boxing and shipping my young wolves & other specimens, writing a few letters & talking with the ranchmen.

In P.M. got a saddle horse and followed the long mesa east of Opal, looking for wolf tracks.  Found none but found two dens of young coyotes, which I did no disturb as I had no shovel.  Saw both old coyotes at one den and fresh tracks of both at the other.  One was carrying a muskrat which it dropped and I skinned.  It was a [[symbol for female]], not yet with young & must have been caught in Hams Fork, 2 or 3 miles distant.  Could tell long before I reached a den by the abundance of tracks of coyotes.
