of about 35 deer on the north side
of Mt. Trumbull. Forage is about the
same type as on the Nigah, but
has entirely recovered from previous
years of overgrazing and browsing.
The deer winter down along the
Colorado & not in Juwee Valley.
Very few deer are east of Juwee
due to heavy sheep grazing.
Antelope were abundant in the
valley 20 yrs. ago. They are all
gone now. A band of six antelope
were on the west side of Mt. Trumbull
until about 5 yrs. ago. Since then
they have not been seen.
Mt. Sheep are common along the
cliffs east of Juwee. A week ago
two sheep were seen close to
Hent's Homestead. He says they
are found east along the cliffs
of the Colo. and around Toroweep
Point.
Coyotes are common. Yesterday
morning a calf was dropped close
to the east cliff. When I went there
the cow was standing over it and
two coyotes were within 100 yds.
lying down watching. Another calf
recently born was eaten by coyotes.
Coyotes are trapped through the winter.
