The further down they go, the less feed 
they would encounter. Of course, the 
Government farm would come next. As 
a rule it cuts around 6oo tons of hay. This 
lasts sometimes until April, and then the 
elk are forced back on the bare hillsides 
to starve. The Government ranch foreman 
has always been sadly lacking in regard to 
funds. Last spring he had only $ioo to 
start work. The ranch should easily pro¬ 
duce 1,500 tons on its 2,600 acres. The 
same conditions existed a year ago that 
existed two years ago, and we knew then 
what would happen if a hard winter set 
in. Everyone knows what did happen. 
Two years ago a friend of mine. Alva 
Simpson, formerly from the town of Jack- 
son, Wyoming, and at that time Super¬ 
visor of the Cochetopa Forest Reserve in 
Colorado, was sent up there to make a re¬ 
port on the elk situation to the Govern¬ 
ment, also to count the southern herd. I 
talked with him concerning the report and 
he recommended the one solution to save 
the elk from starving was to keep the cat¬ 
tle off the foothills between the Buffalo and 
Gros Ventre. Not a thing was ever done. 
The cattle pasture it clean every year. Now 
really the one and only solution to keep 
these elk from starving every winter by 
the thousands, is to set aside this section 
for their winter grounds. Mr. Miller, the 
Forest Supervisor in Jackson, sold the 
present elk ranch to the Government and 
I know from what I have heard, favors the 
stock interests to the detriment of the elk. 
I have no use for the way the Forest Ser¬ 
vice handles the question. Their interests 
are all for the stock. The sheep as yet 
have not seriously threatened the elk, but 
they are gradually approaching from the 
southeast. If ever allowed in the Jackson 
Hole proper, the elk are doomed. One 
lucky thing is that they are afraid of the 
cattle men. 
Just had a letter from one of my friends. 
He had been acting as a deputy game war¬ 
den and said that the tusk hunters were 
getting busy. He had been pursuing them 
until two weeks ago, but was laid off on 
the old excuse of “lack of funds.” Now 
there is only one man to patrol a country 
150 miles square. This is Mr. Seebohm, a 
mighty hard worker and a lover of the elk. 
but what can one man do? The state, in¬ 
stead of putting back the money they re¬ 
ceive in game licenses in game protection 
put it in their general fund. The few 
stockmen in the Hole would like to see 
the elk killed out, but for the sake of these 
few selfish individuals I do not think the 
people of this country should allow the last 
grand herd of elk to be starved to death 
during the winter. When up there this 
fall the feed conditions were equally as 
bad, but fortunately as near as I can learn, 
the winter is very mild. 
Now let a man study this from an impar¬ 
tial standpoint as I have, especially during 
the last three years, and it will be found 
that the big loss, starvation in winter, will 
be overcome if proper protection is given 
their winter range, and a little extra money 
spent on wardens. The sheep range on 
the west slope of the Tetons but are not 
allowed on the Jackson Hole side at pres¬ 
ent. The elk do not use the west side of 
the Hole. I am glad to be able to express 
my opinion on this subject as I want better 
protection for these noble animals.
