Creator Transcript
  • Ovis canadensis [underlined] All three were old rams with full curl horns measuring about 26" with 12" +/- base. On Sofa Mt [Mountain] found many fresh beds high up under the rim rock. The sheep were seeking the shade of the east facing cliffs in the heat of the afternoon. Dormer Cabin Aug [August] 10/1945 Plenty of old sheep sign on the hills north of the cabin but recent sign suggests that only a few head. G. [George] Harrison tells me that in former years he has seen a hundred to 200 head in autumn + winter on the grassy hillsides at the head of the Stony Creek. As many as 500 on a trip down the Panther from Sulphur Springs. Noted a sharp decrease some 8 years ago. Saw 5 rams on Dormer Pass yesterday 2 more today BruceMitchell saw 14 rams when he was coming over the summit today. There is a lick just before the trail breaks off down to the Dormer Cabin. Disease [underlined] Found a forearm with some arthritic dipping around the joint. Found a skull. dead 7 or 8 years one horn broken about 15 inches from base. Broken off some time before death.
