There is, also, an interesting pass
age on wild game. In Alaska there
are 5,900 black bear still alive and
roaming around. There are 5,000
grizzly and brown bear; 57,300 deer;
2,050 moose and 2,000 mountain
sheep. Now compare this with Cal
ifornia, for instance; 10,894 black
bear, no other kind of bear; 236,
660 deer; 131 elk; 775 mountall
sheep and a few beaver. Oregon has
6,215 bear; 71,339 deer; 4471 elk;
and more than 5,000 beaver. Wash
ington, also, has a bit of game left.
She has more black bear than any
other single State or Territory (and
this includes Alaska) except Calif
ornia. She has a few grizzlies left.
She has 26,320 deer; 9,590 elk; 2.
125 mountain goats; and nearly 10,
000 beaver. In fact Alaska makes a
rather poor showing in the game line
except in mountain goats, in which
she leads any State or Territory,
having 9,000 of them. The nearest
State to her in Goats is Minnesota
with 4,228. Arizona, California,
Idaho and Oregon have, each, more
deer by far than has Alaska. Mon
tana comes nearest in the big bear
line, having 441 to Alaska’s 5,000.
Two States lead Washington in elk
and they are Montana and Wyoming
with 10,593 and 39,008 respectively.
