Did your electric fence survive the winter?

If you have an electric fence, it’s a good time to check for these 5 things to ensure it stays in good working condition:
- Leaning or snapped posts
- Broken electric fence conductors
- Vegetation shorting your line
- Lost wire tension
- Soil erosion around posts

Most fence damage from winter is hidden until it fails. Here's what to look for on your fence walk — and what you'll need to fix it.

Most WMAs open today, so if you’re shed hunting this weekend, don’t forget to practice these bear safety basics:

🐻 Make noise. Luckily, this type of hunting doesn’t require you to stay quiet, so shout an occasional “Hey, bear!” especially if you can't see very far.
🐻 Be aware of your surroundings. Look up every now and again and scan the area for more than sheds.
🐻 Carry bear spray. Keep it in a quick-to-grab spot.

Good luck to all those searching!

(Please don’t mind the staged photo. Our shed season hasn’t been fruitful yet. 🤞)
