  • Alces. Clearwater Lake Cabin. July 14/43 [1943] Saw a bull + a cow with young calf today. None of these seen yesterday. Siffleur R. [river] July 15/43 [1943] This river valley seems to have the heaviest moose population per unit area of any part of the park yet seen. In a distance of 2 miles x 1/2 mile I saw the following animals - none of them repeats. 6 ad. [adult] [male symbol], 4 ad [adult] [female symbol], 1 calf, 1 yearling. One the mountainside moose had been browing willows up to 4800' [feet]. Sign was in abundance - mostly early spring + winter. Willows in river bottom heavily chewed up. In fact those parts above snow line are almost all killed. Big Flats, Pipestone River. July 14/43 [1943] Saw 3 large bull moose on Pipestone pass. Willows down the Pipestone are mostly of dwarf varieties - see journal - and moose not abundant. Winter food primarily balsam which is in places heavily browsed. All tall willows killed. Kills: Found skull of an old [male symbol] on the Siffleur. Spread 53" [inches] - photographed. Cause of death unknown. nose not chewed but other bones gone.
