- Cervus
he estimates between 600 and
a thousand elk came out of
Glacier park last winter, probably
nearer the larger figure. For the
most part they stayed in the Belly
Valley + went up to 5 miles out
of the park. He states that only
2 ranchers are actually suffering
damage + they don't appear to want
to do much to help themselves.
On dry years the range was
pretty well grazed off by cattle
but this year the grazing is
lush + growth very heavy. He
has seen very little sign of elk.
Browsing. Just a little on willow
Certainly the aspen of the Belly river
valley + the Eleagnus etc [etcetera] are
untouched - not barking whatever
This last winter there was only
about 9 in [inches] of snow on the ground
until February but from then
through to April 160 inches fell +
it lay 4 ft [feet] deep in many areas.
Elk moved down + though he
found only 1 dead one the cows
became poor.
As Christensen points out the
time when the elk are down on
the ranches the roads are blocked
with snow + impossible thus
