  • Journal Banff. Alta. [Alberta] June 8/43 [1943] As many as 40 sheep have been seen on the bluffs bordering the Saskatchewan at the crossing but it is definitely 2nd [second] rate summer range. Census:- Sheep + all rams at 6 mile These are a bunch not seen previously Elk. 24 bulls, all near Banff (12 mile in) 89 cows 5 yearlings 7 newborn calves. 145 Mule deer:- 13 (4 [female symbol], 2 [male symbol]). Moose:- 10 (4 [male symbol], 4 [female symbol], 2 yearlings) Whitetail deer 4 all [female symbol]'s 2 at 92 mile. 2 " 96 mile. Kills 1 moose at mile 72 - cause of death unknown. Range Condition:- At Saskatchewan there was a fair carry over of grass in the aspen woods + browse utilized only about 20%. Plenty of young aspen coming along in the burn + willow only lightly browsed. Stocking about 50% capacity. an increase of 50% of present stock could be handled safely I think. If it goes higher the deer will suffer.
