Creator Transcript
  • Cervus canadensis 15 mile Cabin - Spray River. June 18/43 [1943]. Enroute in saw 24 elk 15 indet. [indeterminate] 3 bulls, 5 cows, 1 calf. Same locality June 11/43 [1943]. Saw 24 elk, all but 2 of them bulls, breeding + resting along grassy slopes on east side of valley. By 5 P.M all but a very few were feeding. Spray Lakes. June 12/43 [1943] Leaving the Spray cabin this morning we saw 8 elk + 4 large males + 4 [female symbol]'s? Saw several very large shed antlers. Elk were numerous in the burn but much less so in the timber. However they had been all the way along the trail. A pellet count taken from about 4 miles out of the cabin + periodically to the second cabin indicated Moose 27, elk 9, deer 1. Saw 2 large bulls at our campsite + much elk sign on the Bryant Cr. [Creek] trail The presence of elk hair in coyote droppings indicates that elk wintered in here. Simpson tells me that in the end of October 1940 there were elk bugling at the head of the Alexandra River.
