400.
the carrying capacity of the range
is determined by experience. Some
few elk may be sought and
killed in the saddle each
year, although I see no necessity
for doing this since elk are
so readily seen along the roads
mornings & evenings. A bull
moose was browsing along
the stream this morning as
we looked over the area. His
antlers were still in the velvet
although apparently full size,
and probably close to shedding.
Small bands of antelope
were seen west of Tower Falls
station, around Trumpeter Lake
and near the Buffalo ranch.
This evening between 5:00 - 7:00
P.M. we drove to Old Faithful.
A bob-tailed coyote ran across
the road by Sylvan Lake. The
swans were in the middle of the
lake. A bear (black) was seen
near Apollinario Spring, one bull
elk at Norris, no elk in Gibbon
Meadows but about 50-60 in
Lower Geyser Basin. In this
basin 2 families of Sandhill
cranes, 3 each, were 200 yds.
