The ranch also is home of a variety of wildlife. There are always whitetail deer, Canadian geese, mallard ducks, & an occasional mule deer. Wild turkeys have also frequented the ranch. Not to mention the resident squirrels and numerous birds. Oh, and last but not least, there have been moose and bear sightings.
