- Journal. July 31/43 [1943]
Here again there appears to be heavy
+ direct competition on winter range
between elk + sheep. There is need
of a thorough study of the sheep with
special reference to ranges + elk
interaction. The generally expressed
opinion is that with the arrival of elk
the sheep go (or die).
Isaac Creek. July [word crossed out] Aug. [August] 1/43. [1943]
This morning patrolled the next gully
east for sheep winter kills.

about 1/2 way to Isaac Cr. [Creek] is another
small patch of grass that in 1910
