le.J. Allen thinks that the elk
are about holding their own &
last years Thinks the elk & Jackson
Lake must be fed, and thinks more
will be fed each year. Thanks they
should be fed on the Swamp
a great many elk pass Jackson
Lake, proving the birth of three
or four in Jackson Lake, and
when the same way. Thinks 10000
pass by Jackson Lake in fall
Thinks all the snarps from Cowgots
North showed as all good for
elk. 91 pieces against stock (only)
the hay and pasturage would support
the elk the corn that Thinks 1/2 ton
to the elk should be fed
Last year about 7/3 of the cows
one 2 years old brought calves
many calves until fall. Many
calves about Jackson Lake.
Most of the first calves to die are
93. Thinks stock ought to take
care of the elk, so that they be
preserved. Thinks game
preserve should be maintained
so much Stock grazed on game preserved
a little stock grazes thru by Allen,
Gregory, & Shepperd, Last year
Hunker, Miller, etc had cattle
on the same Reserve.
The Preserve makes a good
summer range for the elk. Some
wolves bred back in the Mts. has
not found dens but has heard
some bear paws. Thinks the
browns on Spread Creek came
from the Green River side. Has heard no
Complaint from wolves in the
Park. Has not heard of any
dens being found in the Game
Preserve. When first wolves came
into Jackson Lake about 10 or 11 years
ago - The old settlers had not seen
any for years.
Wolves
(North) says they first came into the
Green River Country about 50 years
ago as became a nuisance about
12 years
