Erd Lovejoy (Brovent). Thinks the
Dixanp above Jackson should
be set aside as a winter range
from Jackson to Petersen's
Thinks that eventually, the bulk of the
ele in that vicinity would be drawn
into that region. $30 income for a big
price. Should be fenced stock proof.
May should be cut and stocked and
the pasturage left. Should be fed in
emergencies
✓ Thinks there are from 20 to 25,000
in the Jackson Hole country. Hasn't seen
this own deer the last several years.
✓ Thinks 70% of the adult cows here
✓ Calves. Thinks there are not enough.
✓ Bulls. Has never seen but one
calf, but thinks that thin may be
occasional forms. No difference
in relative number of each sex
dying
Are a valuable asset to the
country. Does not think they
will ever be a detriment to
the country. Thinks they will pay
their way. Thinks State and Gold
Together should manage the elk
best foroose State control.
Thinks the State Game Preserve
is a detriment to the Game. Thinks
the elk come down earlier
than before the Game Preserve
was established. If hunted
all through the Preserve they
would be kept back until later.
This a fine breeding Reserve
(Last few years have been bad for snow)
1. Part of Atherton Circle about last 7
October
Thinks that hay might be secured
here and thin in other parts if
the to be herd in readiness
Thinks present game laws are
reasonable
✓ Deer are increasing slightly the
last few years. Partly owing to the
destruction of Mt. Leona
In 1888-9 Thinks seen about 150 buffalos
about Oregon Buttes Fremont
✓ Elk seen very abundant. Per diem only
2,456,000 antilopes could be
seen in a bunch
