for their winter range the latter part
Of November. The game Is very con-
slant in the uses of trails and runs.
Each season they go out from their
summer range by the very same trails
and passes en- route to their winter
home.
The pass used in their exit from the
park is about mile from the Aspen
Hunting Cabin. on Buffalo Flat. north
OF Yellowstone Park. and the trail
they travel over is a quarter Of a mile
above the same lodge. During this
exodus OF elk every morning about the
time the suns first rays of light can
be seen radiating in the gray east on
the sky line will be observed vast
numbers Of moving objects which will
be made out to be elk.
Five thousand were estimated to
have passed along the trail above the
cabin in four days. The cows and
calves outnumbered the bulls about
five to one. Very few old bulls we're
noticed, probably because large per-
centage of them stay upon Hell-Roar-
ing Creek.
The elk are nomadic animal and
very unlike the deer, seeming to have
no particular country or home and are
more or less on the move most of the
time. Last fall while hunting with a
party on a small creek. a branch of
Slough Creek, we came upon a large
bull in the woods, and one Of the
party came near shooting him when
1t was noticed that the elk only had
o1e perfect horn. The other antler
was a freak which stuck out from his
head like huge club (not unlike the
pictures Of Teddy's big stick and had
one small point on It, Later we saw
this same bull with the freak head on
Palmer Creek, some so miles from
where We had seen him month pre
viously. This old bull was finally
killed twenty miles down the Yellow
stone River.
At the rate the elk are increasing
In this section of Montana and the
Yellowstone Park, 1t is becoming
problem to the state of how to take
care of the rapidly multiplying herds.

A BUNCH OF
FOUNTAIN SHEEP

There Is plenty of summer range up
in the great meadow and valleys OF
the park. but the snow Is too deep
for them to stay all winter. SO they
must come down to the lower country
Several large bands of domestic sheep
have been grazed up to the very
boundary of the park. although the
supervisor of the Forest Reserve has
promised to keep the sheep back five
miles from the park line, but he failed
to do 1t. This drives the elk down the
Yellowstone Valley. In the last three
years great herds OF elk have swept
down this valley, tearing down fences,
eating up the ranchers' hay stacks
and In fact eating everything In the
line Of feed, making the country look
as If bunch of Kansas grasshoppers
had suddenly swept down the country
This winter (1910-1I the elk are
twenty-five miles down in the ranch
country. 1t is needless to say they
won't all of them get to see the beau
tiful scenery Of the great Yellowstone
Park again.
The superintendent of the Yellow.
stone park and chief scout Mr.. Nc
Bride, are taking good care of the
park antelope. mountain sheep, deer
and small part of the elk. 1t is i'm
possible to feed $4,000 elk, which is
the number in the park, according to
the last census.
About 100 tons of hay are fed to the
game every year. This is put up by
the government. 1t is alfalfa hay and
Is grown in the park on an 80-acre
fiat in front Of the town of Gardiner.
There are from 400 to 1000 elk fed
on the fiat. The number varies as
there is no fence to retain the animals
and the game comes and goes at will
If the storm is severe the fat is Gov
cred with game; when the weather is
mild the feed ground is clear of game
The antelope that are fed number
about 200. The other 200 go down the
river, which is their natural range
The scouts and soldiers try to drive
them back, but it is difficult task.
The prettiest sight of all is to see
the so mountain sheep around the
feed racks in the Gardiner Canon.
Anyone who has spent all day climb
Ing to the top of some high mountain
thinking he has been very careful to
keep under cover and out of sight of
band of mountain sheep, to find the
quarry has disappeared, knows bow
wary the big horn is. But It is diff.
ferent here The big 16-inch ram
which is so hard to get close to In
the wilds will come up and almost eat
out OF your hand. At least, he comes
near enough to get good picture.

larger number of cows have two
calves following them than in pre-
vious years. The elk are becoming
acclimated to the high mountainous
country OF the park and upper Yellow
stone and are growing more hearty
IN their present environment. In
early days before the great valleys
and low lands were taken up by the
settler the elk were found in the big
open country except in late summer
months, where they were very often
found In the high mountains grazing
upon great plateaus. Early explorers
and prospectors noted very few elk in
the park and section north of that re-
serve, and in fact very little game ex-
cept buf1alo. This information was
obtained from DR.. Reagle, who was
with DR.. Hayden in his official expedf
ton In 1871, when most Of the geysers
were named and angulated.
The elk stay up here in the moun-
talns all winter now, very few Of their
number trying to do down the valley.
They have learned to like thu snow
