Tompson Quinault April 28, 1934.
fisherman, who said he had worked there for
several years told us that from 150-180
bulls were shot there last fall. Whether
he was referring to unofficial & un-
calculated killing or whether his figures
were wrong we do not know. He also
said that herds totaling several
hundred were always to be found
in the burnt over area along the
Humptulips in fall or winter, and that
the bulls were higher in the timber.
Fulton said elk were common on all
the main drainages of his district; that
they wintered down in the river bottoms
and summered up even to timberline
in the monument.
Trappers he indicated, had in past
years taken fisher, mink, martin,
all around the higher country around
the edges of the monument and in it.
One trapper's cabin he indicated was
just within the monument up on the
North Fork Quinault. It is evident that
fur bearers have been taken from the
monument for many years to the
same extent as outside it. He seemed
to have no definite plans or notions of
game or wild life management, and I
feel that the monument has been used
