Creator Transcript
  • Coldstream Lakes, V.I. [Vancouver Island] Dec. [December] 19, 1939. Feeding. Deer were most of them scattered widely over the second growth area, perhaps a tendency to congregate in the timber or near areas of timber but at least as many were seen away from such. Only one deer a buck was known to have been bedded down when jumped. This one at 11:30 was found fast asleep in the open on a rocky knoll. We approached to within 20-25 feet of it without its waking. A vagrant breeze finally carried our scent to it + instead of dashing off it quietly sneaked away. As late as 10:30 AM the deer were still on the move back from the lake. Lots of usnea blow down from the trees in the recent storms. Noted feeding on salal, arbutus, + manzanita recently. Stomach contents 55% Boletus mushroom 30% Usnea. 10% Douglas fir. 4% cedar 1% salal. [arrows indicate previous two lines switched] A shed antler of last year had been extensively chewed.
