It always seems that the elk hide whenever we have guests.
This time,
the morning after Marcus and Samantha arrived we woke up to
find a large portion of the herd bedded down just south of
the house.
Apparently they have forgotten the
unfortunate incident
at the end of November.
Four young bulls got together just outside the Master
Bedroom window to practice for the next mating season.
Coyotes have been spending a lot of time around lately,
and we were recently told a wolf pack is wandering nearby.
At an end of year party,
a neighbor to the north of us said that three mountain lions
had been hanging around the night before.
When
FWP
agents showed up,
the lions escaped to the south down Place Creek –
so they probably came right through our property and by the
Carriage House.
All these are good reasons why we keep the dogs inside from
sunset to sunrise.
