Creator Transcript
  • Canis lupus In January 4 wolves came down the Poboktan Creek + right down to the cabin area. Also in January he [Frank Wells] saw tracks of two separate bands in the Buffalo Prairie area, one of 5 + one of 7. Saw no sign of these wolves crossing the road + going up west. He feels that perhaps 15 wolves were active along the Athabasca [illegible word] as far as the Miette River. He found one buck deer, a pet, that tried to winter near the cabin, It had been pulled down on the rivers edge. He also says that he has seen 25 or 30 elk at a time standing in the river. The main defence of all these animals when harried by either wolf or grizzly is to get into water. They some times stay until fatally chilled. He found an elk in that state last fall + has taken several deer out of the river only just alive. All eventually died. Jasper. May 6 Braznet tells me that there were no wolves in his area last winter.
