Recent cold snap, along with increasing snow in the high country and the end of rifle season have brought large herds of elk down onto Dillon area pivots. Where except for being harassed by PO'd ranchers and competing with cows for grass and hay rights...life, despite the harsh weather looks to be pretty good. All the above were shot almost within sight of downtown Dillon. Besides the elk Dillon area ranchers are feeding a few thousand mule and whitetail deer and several hundred antelope. The Matador is as we speak erecting tall electric fence around several cow pastures but last night apparently lured by the smell of hay elk knocked down at least one as well as destroying a bunch of barbed wire fence.
