doubt the amount of cattle
Does not think that the Game
Preserve should be maintained
as it restricts the hunting range
and the range covered otherwise
seems as a breeding ground
It might be 'it protects' during
the putting season. Thinks that
was as many calves formerly as now.
Thinks the elk are sufficiently uptown
to warrant protection.
Formerly, a majority of the people
look out hunting.
Thinks that the elk meat is worth
$50 to the family. The majority of
families get meat.
Elk come a little earlier than
some but not quite so early as
last year. Other many came by
November 15. when this was severely
6 inches snow on the flat.
Have noticed wolves about
2 years ago in the upper part of the
valley. They had been formerly seen
20 miles below. The next year there
was many about antelope Spring.
Come from Wind & Green River
New Kennel positives in the Park
is Game Preserve before this.
See the print "Lion Track"
in 1888-9 on the Gros Ventre.
The next year there were a
few coyotes caught an old
trapper who had trapped her
for 20 years or more and seen
see a Mt Lion Track former
to that time.
No bobcats.
✓ Moose are on the increase
✓ Deer are on the decrease
owing principally to predatory
animals.
✓ Sheep must plentiful in through-
fare. Creek of any place. Thinks
it is harder to protect sheep
from poachers if any game
to the past that they are far back.
We know but one moose calf
Thinks the Game Preserve is a
breeding place of predatory
animals. There are a few lions
and wolves (dying last few years)
many eagles and bears.
