376. Rocky Mountain National Park July 13, 1933 Arrived July 10th, Spent 2 days in clearing upmail & reports. Rogers reports in informal interview, that: Elk are increasing. Probably around 450 now. Range, especially winter range, is improving since portions of Moraine deaver & Horseshoe Park have been purchased & many fences eliminated. The elk seem contented in winter to remain in those areas. Porcupines have greatly increased. They are all over the park. Rangers are instructed to kill them when they see them. Bears are still no great problem although they usually invade civilization after a dry spell. Wolves are apparently not here. The previous reports may have been erroneous.
