329. Cain, near South Canyon March 2, 1933. This morning I talked with Bill Crooby, an old cattleman and deer guide on the Kaibale. He has been in the region many years. The following is the gist of the conversation: Grizzly Bear: An Indian killed one bull in South Canyon about 75-100 years ago. This is the only one known to visit the region. Black Bear: Three blacks have been known to wander into the plateau in Indian or White annals. Timber Wolf: A few were there when white men first came. Mule Deer: Probably as many deer in the forest in Indian times as are here this season. As we drove down from Jacob's Sales, about 4 miles north of the post, I saw a Goshawk fly through under the pines. The ground is covered with snow on the plateau, on an average of 1 foot deep - 3 feet deep in some places + 2 feet deep at the north rim near the hotel. We saw no other life in the forest. A Prairie Falcon I was seen in the early morning just north of Cain.
