Jasper, Alta. [Alberta] April 18/43 [1943]
Frank Wells reports:- that in December
1933-34 a cougar killed 4 bucks
between mile 15 + mile 12 on the Athabasca
road. One these had both the antlers
flopping loose - he showed me the
antlers - each with a small chunk
of bone [word crossed out] frontal bone attached
The next night the same cougar
killed a doe - after a careful
stalk it made 3 bounds + landed
on the deer which took one jump
+ fell dead. (In all [of] them the
back of the neck was bitten.)
It then carried the doe with only
an occassional [occasional] drag mark for
1 1/4 miles to a rock ledge. It did [word crossed out] ate
only a small part of the 4th buck
killed.
In 1941 a lion killed 2 bucks
within 50 yds [yards] of each other on the
crest of the ridge east of Fiddler creek.
Ate a little from each. This was
the total kill in 48 hour (about)
Trailed a large cougar up [illegible word]
+ saw where it had killed + eaten
a porcupine. Skin almost intact
with body removed through abdomen
Saw two similar instances on
the [two illegible words].
