New addition

Don and Allan check out our recent purchase

Here's a picture of the horse trailer that was purchased this month for use at the Reserve. Our board of directors decided to purchase a used horse trailer when funding permitted after the incident last November when our fence was cut and deer escaped or were chased out. Valuable time was lost trying to borrow trailers after telephone tips were received about the whereabouts of the deer.

After repairs and minor modifications, this trailer will stay within the enclosure, doors open, and hopefully absorb the smells of "home" so that if we have to respond to an incident, we will have transportation that is familiar to the animals, and not a cause of added stress.

We also see the trailer providing some shelter and looking further ahead, we will be able to use it to isolate a sick or injured buck so that veterinary care or medication can be administered.

We are grateful to everyone who has purchased antlers, calendars or donated to the Reserve to help make this purchase possible.
