[[underlined]] 107. May 14 [[/underlined]] - Found a Urocyon in each of my fox traps, which were baited with jack rabbit & scented with castoreum & assafoetida. No wolves had been along the road or near my traps. Made up a few mammal skins. [[underlined]] May 15. [[/underlined]] Caught a skunk in one of my fox traps. Found where a wolf had followed the road to near one of my traps & then turned & followed the scent back and forth along my drag work & tramped all around the traps which the cattle had previously stepped in & sprung. The cattle insist on pawing up my traps tho I run them off the ridge every day. My man, Hotchkiss, came this evening so I will now have all my time for work. Have lived alone & cooked for 3 days - long enough.
