Windy and snowing. 13F @ 5:45am. wind ~20mph

6am - Set up the NL with Jill at the GVCG and No Camping. I hacked off the bottom front 1/4 of the elk and moved it to the deer.

7:30am - remembered that i didn't set the antenna at NoC bait, so went down and flushed ~10cora and 1 ad baea. There was no antenna, so i pulled the box and brought it back, fixed it and had it reset by 8am.

9:30am - 1 ad BAEA above GVCG. between then and 1pm, 2 goea and one juvie baea came around. no ravens feeding, only magpies. it got too windy and snowy to see the bait, so we called it.

9:30-1pm - only cora and bbma feeding on NoC bait.

Gave up after 1pm due to wind/weather.

4:15 - weather cleared. At least 4 ad baea near the NoC bait. Nothing at GVCG. 2 of 4 in same tree on river's edge. One above. At 4:45, it flew around with the 4th baea and came back above the bait. Went down to feed a few minutes later. All cora gone at this point. Fired the trap and it shot over the bird, but it got out by the time i ran down there. Net shot shot due to blown wind on the back lines. Covered both baits after this.

8am - Tom and I went to the G&F office to pick up a road-killed female elk.

11am- Gave one 1/4 to Lester and Vic (60 & 61 released due to BLL < 5.0).

12pm- Moved the elk SW of GVCG and placed new NL. One cora saw us and watched as we left. Took 1/4 for back-up bait.

1pm- One SY BAEA flew in and landed above the No Camping bait. about 6 cora on it and a few more in the trees.
