Whose at the Gate?

Recently we began to notice that Someone has been rubbing this bush right at our gate.
See that volunteer sprig right at the base of this cottonwood?

Look closer.............................

Closer Still........................................
Someone has been rubbing their antlers to shed them.  Now the WHO remains a mystery.  We have between three and five elk bulls that hang around every winter and also four huge mule deer stags. These guys have scared the bejeebers out of me several times by trying to commit suicide in front of my car!

 Last spring our daughter in law found a very nice elk shed on our place.

So to the WHO, we hope you leave us an antler or two!

Definitely, wildlife is one of the greatest things about living 60 miles north of nowhere.

  1. We went antler hunting once with my brother, he lived in Big Piney then, it was a great afternoon, no sheds but a great hike:)
