If he already has a herd of cows, the only way he's going to jump a fence to answer another bull is if he's gay.....

How true.......

35 years ago we fed deer and elk on our ranch for the CPW during a harsh winter. When a recent Left Coast Refugee moved nearby and let his dogs run on our property--and chase the wildlife and our livestock--I had to go on a canine shooting spree. One evening when one of the Refugee's dogs were circling about 150 head of elk on our place, I was compelled to shoot the offending dog.

Needless to say the 150 head of elk lined out and headed straight for the Refugee's place--taking out every fence he had laugh

I had to fix my own fence too but it was worth it..........

Good on you.

Start putting out alfalfa on your side. When it starts feeding on it daily, get your elk call.

Feed him alfalfa and you can use a crow call.

Han, get us some trailcam pics, please.

You might even want to put one with the video where they start jumping.

I wouldnt tell anyone else on the lease if you dont want it shot, however.

Over, under, through, if the fence is in Saskatchewan, it doesn't matter much to our elk.

Many stretches of fence in the high country of Arizona known for elk crossing, have pvc pipe on the top wire. Lots of fences are broken down by the elk dragging their feet over the top wire. The pvc rolls when they hit it and the wire is not stressed. Also, at night, elk can see the white pvc and clear it. This method has been very effective.

If the elk are spooked, they will probably still crash blindly through the fence, but at least this method saves some of the fence.

Be sure they are elk and not Red deer.

There are lots of red deer in Burnet county. As well as hybrids.

Putting that many wood posts in rocky ground isn't as fun as it sounds.


What's the second post for?

I can see how a 2d staple could be mistaken for a post. grin

I have seen elk jump pretty tall jack leg fences with ease.
