Creator Transcript
  • Cervus the elk came down onto his meadows 67 came into the haystacks on the Northern end one evening + the owners of the hay shot 6 right in the hay yards. This occurrence brought the matter to a head + precipitated the settlement. The Provincial govt. [government] now intends to extend the season through until April 1 permitting either sex (1 animal) as the bag limit for hunters after the antler shedding season. They also plan to deputize the local ranchers suffering damage + authorizing them to take whatever steps they deem necessary to drive the elk from their properties. Riggall has examined the elk range on Lakeview ridge + the watershed of Galway Cr. [Creek] + reports that by late March it is grazed to the ground + shows signs of continued overgrazing. He feels that the Blood reserve + s [south] eastern part of the park should be excluded from the park. States that the Indians recently won a test case establishing their right to shoot on the reserve.
