1. Code 1958 Alces gigas 11 July Uniat & Colville River During the wolf hunting season on one flight Harold Griffin counted 76 moose between Ocean Point and the Colville Bar. He was certain that he counted every animal. He thought about 30 animals yarded on the large island opposite Uniat Mountain during the winter. There is another yarding area at the Colville Bar. Also he says that the bulls in summer remain high up at the heads of the creeks. This may explain why I score only new cows and calves on my flights along the main river in the summer time. This evening Chester Lange saw a yawning along Seaber Creek just west of the runway. July Uniat - Colville River - While flying up to the landing above the Oolamogovik we saw a moose 32 minutes out of Uniat - at 0137. Later in the day at a point below the Oolamogovik we saw a bull swim across the river - at 2110.
