Dowats
March 11, 1934
This morning we moved camp to Dowats. Roads were clear of snow so that we could drive cars all the way.
There is a new cabin at Dowats.
In the afternoon Shumacher and I rode the points north & west of the cabin. The range appears just about as it did last year. Recovery is too slow.
Shumacher agreed privately with me that the range is still being too heavily utilized, and that further reductions in livestock or game would be desirable. He outlined a plan of his whereby the west side winter range points might be fenced against deer & domestic stock, leaving lanes down into the sandrock (such as the Nail Trail) where animals might go in case of severe winter. Otherwise they might pile up against the fence occasioning range damage and perhaps severe losses.
