Some trouting and poison is
The cause of the falling off of

On the 28 March 1883 on Eagle
Creek near Smith River saw an elk
Many 2 spotted Calves
Saw a deer in November just
about where famous near Jackson
Elk kept in Captivity, still home
Calves at any time pyrene. He
Knows this from More Geltner
experience. Thinks the elk and deer
in the Park are gentle because
not hunted.
Thinks the ramp of acquire
should be fenced with
a shots Proof fence and by
putting up hay. Thinks more
elk died, that winter than would
be killed by hunters in 5 years
Thinks poor elk died above
Jackson this Winter.
The elk that stay in the hills in
small bands winter much better
than the big bands which emigrate
to the Jackson Hole.
There are more elk below Jackson
this Winter than usual.
Elk cannot be driven out, but it
would be a good way to kill them
Bears were always here
Thinks that is a shame for the State to
let the animals starve
Never has seen a bobcat in
Jackson Hole
