One of my favorite things about living on a ranch is seeing the wildlife. It doesn’t matter if it’s big game or game birds, I enjoy seeing them all. (Well, except for coyotes. I’m not a big fan of coyotes. They cause a lot of damage on a ranch.)

But, elk? Elk, I like. We don’t see them frequently and when we do it’s usually in the winter. They are beautiful and majestic. And powerful. They can tear down yards of fence with little difficulty.

It’s true, fixing fence isn’t considered one of the most glamorous jobs we do on the ranch. However, we do our part to care for the wildlife on our ranch and that includes repairing fences they may damage.

It’s in our job description.
