Last Traps and Breaking Camp











































































Last Traps and Breaking Camp

Today was our final day of deep forest trapping. The cooling weather and the shortening days may account for the declining numbers. Once again the Predominant catches were Meadow Voles. A few Red Back Voles were also caught. No Bog Lemmings were caught today. The Only three White footed mice that were caught were in our kitchen! We placed one in a small tank for a brief photo session and then released him in the woods.

The Gazebo was taken down and packed in the truck. Immediately following the removal of our trusty Gazebo, lunch was enjoyed in a cooling fall RAIN!!
