3 June Pitnegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska
See our fresh tracks at the north
of the river.
4 June I walked up one mile creek
To a high rounded hill which
henceforth shall be known as
Wolverine Mt. and was sitting looking
the countryside over and enjoying
the pleasant sunshine when I
noted a small dark wolverine
that was downwind from me although
several hundred feet lower. It
smelled me and ran, pausing
every few moments to gaze and
smell for me. It disappeared
along the creek where there may be a
den. About 10 minutes later I spotted
another in the opposite direction
hunting among the tussocks. They,
like the foxes, always seem to run
or lope along. There was no doubt
that he was after mice or birds
nests from his searching activity.
This one was bigger and much lighter
than the other one. Either one I could
have shot had I the rifle with me
11 June Mule our one on layoon en way in
Today.
