W.P. Redmond thinks that many
people have said hay who stood
there kept it for their own stock,
and that the proportion to domestic stock
cut fourteen and keep hay grills
is unreasonable
Does not think a winter range on the
hills is desirable. Favors getting the
strange and fencing at elk proof
as then coring them into each
county. It put up hay on the ground,
and leave the strange grow as it is
This had a good deal of trouble to
keep the elk away from the stock
when feeding. About 50 head have
been about lately, including 16 calves.
Many more come drawn array to
the feeding grounds.
Does not think any can be
drawn out by any means
Elk came to hay stretch on November
when there was plenty of grass
on the hills.
Is not in favor of temporary
fencing here and there, and buying
hay for the elk creates a false
market for hay.
Would advocate the strange from
Crosford or Butcher up roughly
2000 acres. Thinks this would
disrupt the elk that come in
Thanks that there are between
25 and 30 thousand on the
Snake River drainage. None
declined the last two years
any to the death of so many
Calves. Compared with 10 years
ago they are much decreased
and this has occurred mainly in
the last 3 years.
Is in favor of the Game Preserve big
kept up.
Is opposed to Federal control of any
winter reserve which may be set aside
but thinks the State and Federal Book
Could combine. Said the state had
not settled the question and ought
to let the Book do something in the
matter
(More are much increased day the last
Few years Coyotes are also numerous.
