He came into country first in 1902-03 + guided north south of Glacier [word crossed out] Golden. It was 3 years before he saw a moose. Shortly after the park was established they became very abundant on the Kootenay + Vermilion then thinned out after badly overbrowsing the region. 2 wolf passed up the Kootenay from the region of Canal Flats in the Spring of 1906. They passed through the park close to the Simpson monument + kept right on going. [Walter] Nixon may be the author of the oft repeated assertion that the wolverine is the chief predator of goat. He claims to have seen many places in which wolverine had killed goat, including one bunch of 5 " but left uneaten First elk seen were a bull + cow that came down the Simpson in 1904. Fox occasional high up. In 1927-28 he first took up steady trapping of his line took 3 marten. Since then the numbers have increased to capacity. Reports that most of the marten go high + mark the rock slides in late winter
