Yellowstone Chronicles 5-7-08
Spring has actually arrived. Yep it is true, we now have mud. We also have bears, wolves, Bison calves and lots of dead Bison.
As I may have mentioned we don’t have very many Bison calves. There were many still births and Bison still falling over dayly from starvation. As you can see from the photo there are slim picking. When ribs are showing through a thick Bison coat like this the end is near. This will keep going on for the next 3 or 4 weeks.
In the mean time there is the usual wolf activity. The Slough creek pack is dened way across frim (where else) Slough Creek.
The Druids are Denned in their old location near the hitching post in Upper Lamar Valley. I haven’t been over there but I have been told that the closure area has been increased.
It was generally dark, Flat light and raining today so we are back in the valley pickup supplies.
