19 July
Petrona River, mi 56 Cape Sabine, Alaska
moving up wind a mile to the Wolf Camp. Two
swift calves were seen today (4:00)
lost from the herd. Here, as well as at the base camp
the impact of the horses is tremendous and
everywhere we have been except in very
highly developed Tundra Wet Meadow
23 July There is no area along the river where there
are no tracks.
Aug. 2 Saw a bull in the far ridge to the East
and took after it. There were three of which
we got two, one spire. The one I got came
toward me jumping up in the air trying
to get the scent from the air camp over the
ridge. It never saw me.
Aug. 4 A herd of 75 was spread over four miles,
several of which ran towards Owl Ridge,
some came over the bluff near T. W. After a
few moments, the whole herd
ran off towards the NW, we thought it
frightened by me. It turned out to
be a grizzly that 5-10 minutes later came
over the ridge 500 feet from me. I
shot at it but it ran upriver
and escaped. This strange shot the
canion were so frightened by a prude
as slow as a grizzly.
