A.C.Bicker 1957 Centaurus canaogensis x300 ft. End Vanney Grass Sho T.14N R.4E Sec.23 De Morte Clam Nov.23 None seen but Mr. Lambert (see January) told us there used to be 3 in Front Vanney - with a meadow + row about three miles up the road from our camp - but now only 1 large male remains, this one apparently was seen where the domestic cattle grazing in this meadow and had a rather set of antlers. Lambert said he poked the ground & used his antler - or the front spikes - to throw a large branch from the ground out of his way. He thought these were "Native" elk + not the smaller "introduced elk from further south" whatever that means.
