C.R. VanVleck. Thinks the elk must be
fed when they need it for food as
exceptional winters, and for this
purpose to keep hay on hand
Thanks, they have been decreasing
during last few years. During the
last three years in all of which years
there has been a great loss of
calves from hemorrhage only that
this might be from 20 or 30
thousand
Thinks feeding does not necessarily
keep them back as they have
always come here. Ordinarily
the Swamp furnishes food for
a very large number, and that
500 tons of hay stored in
push up there. What stored is
sufficient to keep them one
year and another
15 or 16 thousand head of cattle
are kept in the valley
Thinks the Swamp would keep
most of the elk without feeding
Thinks 75% or more of the
calves below the line have
dies. Very few cows died and few
bulls.
2 years ago he examined 25 or 30
and they were nearly all males
Thinks the state ought to take care
gets same, but in the event of the
mortality or cannibalism given by it, the
job. Then the Federal Govt. thinks
Thinks that the Game Preserve is the
breeding place of wolves, coyotes,
Mt. Lions, and showed established
(Mr. Milliews says that toward the end
of the hunting season not only
15% of the cows still have calves
as many due from various
causes)
VanVleck. Thinks that the wolves
have increased during the last
four years and may have been
found in the Jackson Hole County
Admits that most of the elements
made are Therries and hord
To look up
Thinks any area need not be
fenced elk proof
