The D7 has been equipped with a new brush rake and we are off and running! A big part of the elk grant that we were awarded is to remove abunch of the thick underbrush that is overtaking our ranch to create travel cooridors and grassy meadows for the elk. The brush in most places is 6-8 feet tall and very dense, making it nearly impossible for any type of large animal to traverse. We are hoping that by opening up the brush the elk will make there way onto the ranch and call it home! From looking at the tracking data from collered elk we can see that the elk are very close to the property but just havent accessed our ranch yet. Between what the wildfire opened up and the brush removal we have planned our hopes are high that the elk will find there way onto the ranch.
