Creator Transcript
  • Cervus Jasper, Alta. [Alberta] Dec. [December] 24/44 [1944]. Yesterday saw a great deal of elk sign down the east bank of the Athabasca below Maligne River. No young aspen + the Eleagnus making virtually no new growth. Counts:- On western benches at 1 mile + 2 mile N [north] of Jasper. 9 cows with 3 calves. 2 bulls, 11 cows + 5 calves 1 [male symbol] 2 [female symbol] 1 calf - townsite. Food:- grass 595 minutes Douglas fir. 10 " Stomach contents 95% grass calf 5% Douglas fir. trace bearberry ad [adult] cow. + 95% grass fir 3% bearberry 2% Parasites:- Winter tick nymphs fairly abundant. Side of animals neck rubbed down to the bases of the hair. No lungworm 4 very active tape worms appeared to be on the [word crossed out] a mound in the liver but the animal was gut shot + it is entirely possible that they had escaped from the intestine. These worms were so active that I at first thought they were flukes.
