Itinerary
Aug. 14 Troy Cr. 5,400 ft.
the rocks which they might possibly have used. Domestic sheep had been ranged over practically the whole area and we found one small bunch of rams near a spring. Due to the head of Bastion Cr. in the evening we saw 7 deer along the lower slopes below the cliffs. Three of them were yearling bucks and the rest does. The buck's antlers were still in the velvet and they appeared slightly darker than the does, possibly due to an earlier beginning of the moult.
After coming back from the hunt we drove to Ely for dinner on Hwy. No. 6 and then S.W. to Currant Cr. where we camped for the night.
On the morning of the 19th we drove to the Calloway Ranch a few mi. farther on and inquired from D. Calloway about sheep in the vicinity. He told us that we would have the best chance in the head of Troy Cr. on Troy Mt. where
