E.M.Brock 1958 Caribou 1 June 25 Atkask, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska After leaving Barrow by bush plane, I saw my first caribou for this season when we were about fifteen miles north of Mead River Coal Mine. The group consisted of six animals. While setting out transects VII and VIII, I observed two adult caribou followed by two calves trotting south about .5 mile east of me. After they traveled about a half mile more some rifle shots were heard. One of the two skinners now at the village, had shoot it and then skinned it out. Since we had not received any meat with our food supply we went to make a bargain with this fellow. For a five pound can of coffee and about two pounds of sugar (those we afford him) we received the hind quarters of this calf caribou. June 27 One lone, very white caribou seen on tundra about five miles SE of Atkask. Seen on tundra during one of our stops on a boat trip up the Mead. July 16 Pitt Point, Alaska In morning, after checking traplines saw an caribou. Tracks extremely abundant, many animals must have been in the area.
