Kinsey plans elk herd move and park expansion in Wyoming
Mr and Mrs Alpha Kinsey spent a week in Shoshone capturing eight young coyotes for their park in Devil's Corral. They will travel to Jackson Hole in June to acquire elk from dealer J J Carter, who claims a herd of up to 20 000 elk. Carter offers to cover Kinsey's travel expenses if the herd falls short. Wyoming maintains the elk herd but starvation deaths are noted. Harry Kinsey, joint owner, prepares 200 000 trout fry delivery in Ogden. A new canyon road will ease park access, linking river road to the park and northern tracts.
