Thompson Cayuse Pass, El. 6000 ft. Oct. 4, 1930 Day very foggy. We met two hunters up in the pass about one mile outside the park boundary. They had shot a deer and a bear two days previously in the pass, and had seen two other deer. They reported "3 or 4 bear" in the vicinity. They said hunting is very good this year. The bear's pelage was long, and in good condition. Eight dravens were in the trees near the heads remains of the deer. Crows, jays & squirrels were flocking in the trees or on the ground by the road camp. They were so tame that we got within 8 ft. of them as they fed on the ground, in flocks of 20 to 50. Hiking up White River we saw deer tracks for 4 or 5 miles. The two previously mentioned hunters also saw a coyote in the region near Cayuse. The coyote was very dark.
