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.
