Fixing Ranch Fence For Antelope
We have had the best weekend. The Arizona Antelope Foundation came to the Double Circle Ranch and replaced bottom strands of barb wire with smooth wire on some of our pastures that have lots of antelope traffic. The Arizona Game and Fish Department provided smooth wire, a 4 wheeler, and tools and hauled the old wire away for recycling. We had two gas-powered wire rollers complements of Clifton Ranger District of the US Forest Service and the Az. Antelope Foundation. The rollers, combined with 30+ hard working volunteers, made short work of several long stretches of wire.
Now the antelope can cross under the fences easily while heading to Eagle Creek. It was a useful project that will benefit antelope on the Double Circle for years. The Game and Fish personnel and the antelope folks are definitely dedicated people. They are true sportsmen who put their time and money into improving habitat for wildlife. Hats off to the AAF and to AZ Game and Fish for using their weekends to benefit wildlife!
