Journal 52 we were dealing with a far larger herd, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 animals, which were sprawled out over a distance of some 700 m. along the horizon. From our distance it was impossible to get a count of cows, bulls and calves. The many silhouettes of large antlers against the sky revealed some five large bulls. After considerable delay, the Eskimo's arrived at a flaw. Two continued upstream to get down wind from the beast and face them to walk upwind toward the waiting four guns.

In panic the group began to break up and individual smaller herds began to run back and forth, splashing through the swamp. The splashing and grunting filled the air with a fantastic sound. Soon you could see animals laying about and cripples walking helplessly around. Several wounded animals sought the safety of the lakes and waded or swam across them to lie down near shore.
