By the elk. There are about
900 people in the Jackson
Hale County. About 1200 horn.
About 5000 cattle. Moved
from number n Jackson Hall
County at 16,000. Thinks that
has not been ever 1000 head
fed. Thinks that for the sheep
will winter an elk. Thinks elk
as well as much as domestic
cattle. If they are come from
paper numbers would advocate
killing off the surplus under
supervision and sell the meat
and use the money to further
provide for the annual.
Thinks that situation here is unique
as their range has been restricted
by settlement and grazing until
they leave our choice but to know
when they do as this, the duty
of the state to look after them.
Thinks that feeding will not
interfere with the hunting and
that the elk once not interfere in
some with the settlement or
development of the country.
Thinks 70% of the adult cows have
calves. Has never seen more than
one calf. They calve mostly early
faulty June. Does not think that
the is any difference in sex of calves
saying.
Believe 10 and 12 thousand tons of
hay just up. 1/2 tons needed
for head. Thinks as cattle this
more too much.
In favor of State Game
Preserve. But thinks that suitable
persons recommended by
who would give a good say to.
Already citizen should be allowed
to trap predatory animals.
Thinks that Coyote are the
principal breed. The A deer
and Lions are there. Such trapping
should be allowed to hunt
only the predatory animals. Thinks
this movement would suffice.
Thinks that elk meat is worth from $40 to
$50 to each family.
Would favor Garden State
acquisition of one or more tracts
for the feeding.
Land in Jackson Hall assessed at $8 per acre
