W.B. Davis 1936. Ella, Cassia Co., Idaho. Jan. 1. Today I went for a horseback ride with one of the ranchers. Our purpose was to see deer. We left the house about 11 A.M. and returned about 5 P.M. after having ridden about 15 miles. The day was ideal. We rode up Quaking Aspen Creek – tributary to Cassia Creek from the south in stormy weather – to the summit and then climbed to the top of a mountain where thickets of juniper and Mountain Mahogany were found. On the lee of this peak the snow was drifted to about four feet in depth. We saw three Mule deer, two male and a female. They appeared to be very large and I believe are typical of hemiones. They had been feeding on juniper, Mt. Mahogany and low shrubs which I did not identify. We came where they had been bedded down in the snow on the leeward side of a clump of junipers about 15 ft. high. On this trip we saw several tracks of deer, but these three were the only deer noted. We saw hundreds
