Thinks the ticks get on the elk
From the Sagebrush and bred
on them, but are to be found
on the Burles in Spring along
an elk Trail, having dropped
off the elk has never known
of forms being born. Has seen
sharry cows with calf. But never
saw but one embryo
Coming down in the Fall the elk
Come across from the Head of
Spread Creek across head of
Ditch Creek, 1 Dry Cellarwork, 1
Pleat Creek, 2 Atherton Creeks, and
then along the mountains
Jackson Hole
Some think that the Lewis
Jackson Hole elk here come from
the farthest north up in the Park
Thinks the whole Jackson country
should be grown up to the elk,
and be made into a park.
Then he thinks the elk would
increase beyond the capacity if
the country to support them.
Thinks the State Game Preserve
should be maintained of the
State is to take care of the elk in winter
It is a good breaking place
for elk especially in an early
spring when many cows go
there before dropping their calves
in a late spring. Many never
have calves this side of two
Persons. It is a great protection
in the rutting season, and the
ek seem to realize that they
are safe there.
All the people get meat, but
only a small proportion of the
people get any direct revenue from
the elk! Thinks the country should
be thrown open to settlement
and cannot tell whether the game
would pay or not.
