Patweger River, Cape Sabine, Alaska
Hunted 2 herds, one of 10 and the other
16 across the river
25 Jun One single car across the river
while we were still in bed. Merle
heard and shot from tent but missed!
about 1600 saw 2 across river. I got the bull.
No nostil flies and few warbles left. The 9
left and the bull fed without keeping much note
Day approached easily and got 2 good shots in it. It
seems easier to hunt a single than other herd.
27 Jun See following page
Solomon Shot 4387 and 299. No
nostil flies found in any of them.
Very few larbae of warble fly left
But abundant scara seen.
178 on one D
Calculation of herd size
Herd passed on 1.6 mile front
9 counted on .4 mile
3 counts 85, 67, 73 = M = 75/2mm
75/2mm = 2250/hr.
1.6m = 9000/hr
9000/hr for 12 hours = 108,000
