  • Alces. [underlined] Vermilion Crossing, B.C. June 24, 1943. On a drive down the highway to 3 miles west of Kootenay crossing saw 1 bull 3 yrs. [years] 1 " [bull] yearling 2 cows 3 calves. Lick:- There is a wet lick by the roadside 5-6 mi [miles] W. [west] of the camp. Here we saw a bull, bull yearling + cow with calf 3 weeks or so old. All drank avidly + continuously of the muddy water which must be badly fowled [fouled] with feces + urine. The calf did not drink. Interaction:- the yearling kept approaching the cow who as frequently chased it away. The calf stayed close to the cow + utterd [uttered] low whining noises. Perhaps the yearling was the cow's last years calf. Behavior:- both the old male + the yearling were seen to urinate on the tarsal tufts + to rub them together while doing so. Tokumm Cr.[Creek] :- June 25/43 [1943] A few moose - 6. to 12 wintered up here mainly on the slides where they fed mostly on balsam with what willow projected from the snow. In the spring Lonicera, Ribes + Rubus heavily worked.
