Creator Transcript
  • Pipestone Cabin. July 18/43 [1943] Horses left us again + we did not get started until 4 PM + arrived here 8 miles down river at 6. Spent the best part of the day prowling the sheep + goat range east of camp. Goat had been working balsam in the winter + recently had been eating the short purple headed grass heavily. Moose sign well up on the sidehill where the balsams were heavily worked. The willow + birch above snow line are dead or cropped even. Balsam seems to me to be a second choice browse, with willow favored. Percy Woodworth reports seeing 12 cow elk in here in February. They were living on the flats around the junction of Molar Cr. [Creek] + the Little Pipestone with the Pipestone. Almost 5 ft [feet] of snow at the time but they looked to be in good condition. Has seen sheep wintering on the s [south] face of mount Drummond. Found a dead one there on the ice winter before last. There were 6 coyotes feeding on it at the time. Rained this morning but the evening looks too good to be true. No wolf sign on the Pipestone very few lynx, have never seen a cougar track here.
