- Journal. Aug [August] 3/43 [1943]
in there from Mt [Mount] Southesk + worked
4 ridges between that creek + Southesk
Cairn. In each depression was
a stream with a broad or narrow
border of willow flats. The intervening
ridges were mostly grass + herbs
on the S [South] faces + mixed grass + shale
or rock on the N [North] faces.
Sheep were abundant + indications
were that a few head had
wintered on the high ridges that
blow clear. However I doubt that
30 head could winter on the entire
area we examined today. Elk
were all over the range + the
abundance of shed antlers of both
elk + moose indicates a good winter
population - Willows killed to
18" or 2 ft [feet]. On high S. [South] facing
ridges grass heavily winter forged
+ clumps decreasing in size,
many only 50% of original size.
A fully stocked winter range is
indicated - almost undoubtedly there is
competition between elk + sheep for
early spring food.
Game seen:- Sheep:- 50 ewes
48 rams.
Elk:- 32 elk
Moose 2 coyote 1
Deer 3
165 [total]
