Lick:- A damp earth lick of small size used by moose + caribou. Trails lead in from all directions. Samples taken 1 Spring lick. Predators:- Warden Mickey McGuire who used to be on the Rocky states that there were 6 grizzlies that used to run almost as a group. Usually 5 together + the other not far away.
