LOTS OF WILDLIFE

We have been seeing lots of wildlife around here lately.  Yesterday on our walk we ran into a herd of about 25 elk with one large bull with them.  He was really a dandy.  Made the one at the top of the blog look small.  There was a small calf with them that was crippled and had some problem getting through the fence into Carl's place. He won't last the winter. Of course we also saw deer, but it is unusual NOT to see them.  And a snake, coyote, turkeys, and fresh bear tracks/scat rounded out the day.  Had to do some major repair to some of our fence where some elk really tore it down.  Something must have spooked them and they just ran through it.

We are getting ready to head over to the ranch next week for the fall roundup.  Will be getting the cows out of the high country and bringing them down to the lower cow camp.  That is always a fun trip unless the weather is bad.  Forecast is for a nice week though.  We have really been having a great fall around here.  Lots of sun and not to cold.
