Creator Transcript
  • Journal June 7/43. [1943] With aspen groves, pine stands + one excellent fir stand with trees 2 ft [feet] through and 50' +/- ft [feet] high. The region strikes me as offering only moderately good winter range for deer + elk. The shortage of large areas of open grassland detracts from its value as elk range. + the [words crossed out] Browse is not abundant. Willow, Eleagnus, Cornus + young aspen is distributed in the depressions + is only moderately abundant. There has been a good carry over of grass + [illegible word crossed out] browse such as cornus + salix is used 30% + 25% resp. [respectively] Prunus 10%, Eleagnus 20%, birch not at all. The range would apparently support about 50% more deer than it now has provided the elk concentration remained about the same. Apparently the bulk, if not all the elk in the region are bulls. The rocky slopes with some open grass + weed slopes below provides 2nd [second] class summer range for sheep. There is too much timber + too much crag rock for the area to be good sheep range + it will probably become less suitable as forest cover increases.
