Brrrrrrr....

This morning was the coldest so far this year..we had -24 on our weather station and there was a little breeze which made for some seriously cold conditions!!!  We got an inch or so of snow over the weekend so we groomed the trail today.  The elk herd that is hanging out on the northeast corner of the property has done some damage to the track and is really beating up the fairways and we are working to keep them off the greens as best we can.  We don't want to have to haze them..so we are keeping our fingers crossed that they move on soon.  There are probably 120-150 in the group today out on #2/4/7 area so if you venture out on the cross country track keep an eye out and your dog leashed..please!!  The rest of the herd is across the road north in the Bar B Bar Ranch area.  There are also the mom and two yearling moose hanging out on the south side of Spring Gulch Rd/behind the shop on #10.  I also encountered 7 deer on the back nine/west side of the property while out today.  In addition if you keep a sharp eye out on the cross country track on the far west side of the property by Serenity Ranch you can tell how active our resident coyote group has been recently..getting after the voles.  What a great time of the year to check out the wildlife.  Pics below are from #4 and the native area between #2 and #4.

Looking south down #4.

They are on the move...this is about 1/2 the herd..the rest are out of the pic heading across #3.
