Gros Ventre River March 27. Richard Furbish (Grovent) Think ✓ elk horse measures during the last five years as far as his own observation gives 10,000 ✓ heard elk pass his place every fall. Had about 100 around here this winter. He kept them away from his haystacks without much trouble. A good many calves have died but has seen no old ones dead. Says at Lafferty's Place many have ventured with some loss of calves. Have not gone back to the hills both here and at Lafferty's. Was a large crop of calves last year. Does not think there are any barren cows properly, but many loss calves. Does not wear thin calves until snow time. Have one calf. Has never seen Toms. Has cut open hundreds with young and men saw twins. Antelopes & deer sometimes how twins. Does not think that thus so much difference in sex by calves that die, but one year found a great majority of bulls died. In 1887 or 1889 there was great mortality, and when he first came in 1887 or 1888 he found 75 remains & a great many that had perished from them. No coyotes here. First seen a year or so later. No wolves seen until about 1895. Thinks they came from Green River. Thinks the wolves here are the timber wolf, longer legged than the buffalo wolf which is a short legged heavy bodied animal. Buffalo used to winter here, and when he first came his herd was found. Places where many had winter killed. Thinks that elk must be fed and is in favor of having hay provided to be fed in emergencies, wherever they are
