- Journal May 6/44 [1944]
Range:- The sheep range across the river
from Henry House flats is terribly
cut up + overgrazed.
Worst damage to the flatter areas
east of Talbot Lake is by Horses.
Braznet estimates at least 120 possibly
140 head there almost all year
round now. Situation is now
critical + those horses should be
removed.
Counted 19 horses on Henry House
flats. On this basis the 86 elk
seen the other night represented
19/8 x 86 = 204 elk.
I today counted east of Snaring
20 head of horses including 9 on the
north side of the river. This is on the
range reputed to carry 120 to 140 head
of horses.
Just this side of Henry house the
elk have killed or partly killed
much of the Shepherdia as well as all
the young aspens.
Noted that the sites of former
aspens cut by beaver at Talbot Lake
are now marked by little heaps of
earth containing rotten wood.
A low dam across the Athabasca
to keep Jasper Lake flooded would be
good for the entire valley.
