Arrived at the corrals just before 6 am. We were greeted by BLM staff and Rangers, briefed on the rules of etiquette expected at the trap site, then formed a caravan following the Ranger out to the Shinn 1 trap site. There were 8 public observers including us.
We arrived at the site at 7:07 am and the helicopter was in the sky.

| Down at the trap we could see they had already brought one group in and they were loaded in the stock trailer. |
 |
| Watering the road in an attempt to keep the dust down. |
 |
| Pulling away from the trap with those already gathered. |

 |
| Looks like maybe 7 in the trailer. |

| A mare with her foal in the rear compartment. |
 |
| We could see the helicopter working in the distance, and then, at 7:39, came one lone horse. |
 |
 |
| The Judas horse is released... |
 |
| to lead the dark horse into the trap. |
 |
| Checking each other out. |
 |
 |
| Refueling |
 |
| Going for the next herd. |
