Notes from C B Morse
Taughtee Nat Forest
St Anthony Idaho
Notes relating to Western Part of
Wyoming Game Preserve Valley.
C B Morse tells me that more were
seen about Indian Lake in July 1910.
There are many on Partridge Creek,
and between Mesa Siding and
Rocles, and to the eastward
Particularly along Warm River
and Partridge Creek. Many
are found between Three and
the North Fork of Snake River.
Elk about 30 on Squirrel Creek
Meadows in June 1910. Elk come
out of the S.W. Corner of Nat Park
Many cross the N Fork of Snake
River near Big Falls. Many
Cross westward on to upper
Sand Creek and Pine Creek.
The former winter range was in
the open country to the Northwest
of St Anthony.
A few summer on the Taughtee Forest
just west of the Nat Park but most
cross fold into the Park
There are 3 or 4 parties who
have taken up claims on
Squirrel Creek Meadows in the
Western part of the Game Preserve
They were cut over and grazed then in
1910. Year before about 100.
Head grazed them
on the Trail Rim meadows
in the Game Preserve and to
the west a good deal. They
Covers be cut. Practically
no elk counter them. Most
of them come out of the
Preserve and winter in
The Teton Valley.
May used to winter on
the South Fork of Snake
River.
