Trapping on the grasslands
Our research team hiked into the woods to Cooks Lake. This pasture, field and woodland area will be the site of our trapping research. For the first time, we found bear tracks on the trail. We also found evidence of Fisher predation upon porcupines. We divided the 10 members of the research team into five groups. Each group assembled, baited and set 20 traps. We will check the one hundred traps tomorrow morning and again in the late after noon. The weather has been perfect every day. It has been 75-80 degrees by mid-day, and about 68 degrees in the evenings.
