azcoyote Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Thank you! Just found an old homestead orchard I am gonna check out up there. Should put me on some apples and pears while the snow is coming down. Of course, it snowed tons up that way and I am betting there is even more by Friday. Prepping the equipment... Gonna need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted January 6, 2016 I was bow hunting in 33 near the old prison camp years ago. It was snowing and the ground was covered. As I climbed a hill the clouds rolled down and I was in the fog. I decided to follow my tracks back to the truck. I discovered that a mountain lion had followed me a short ways.

azcoyote Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Seeing a mountain lion or a bear would not surprise me at all. The orchard will still be there tho. Even if apples are gone, deer and other animals will return to the site. It also offers better browse than an area with just desert scrub or high mesa foliage. And a wind break... So yeah... Food may not be there but a great many things will be and I will be happy to have some coverage from elements... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
