thompson 151 Kaibab Plateau June 6, 1931 Cloudy day, 3 days after rain. Cliff Rose & Mt. Mohogany were in tree bloom as we came up the north side of the plateau. All the chaparral was intensely thick green but it all showed heavy browsing as high as deer or sheep could reach. Only 1 deer was seen before we reached VT Ranch. There a herd of 30 were grazing in the meadow. By 7:00 PM, 96 deer were counted in the meadow. Grass is every where green but short. The water holes are numerous & full. The deer are in good condition. Short velvet antlers about 6 inches long and showing on the bucks.
