March 4, 1933
Deer counted by all parties
Total 837
recent dead 7
By parties:
Willow Canyon 172
Table Rock 353
West Slide 312
Our trip to Willow Canyon west,
south to back to Slide disclosed
deer always in small bands
hidded in juniper pockets protected
from a cold north wind. Bands
ranged in number as follows:
14, 9, 16, 13, 27, 9, 9, 29, 15, 21, 10, 10.
The range shows improvement
everywhere, as compared to its
condition 2 years ago. It gets
progressively worse toward the
points on Snake Gulch. Cowania,
sprouts range up to 11 foot long,
especially on the lower browseal
stumps. But out toward the points
these sprouts are browsed almost
to nothing. Same is true of
Cphedra, much of which has been
actually killed. Sage shows the
most marked recovery. It is literally
covered with new brush shoots.
