RE: Growing up hunting in WV

in #nature7 years ago

I see pines, therefore I see fat wood. :) How old are the fruit trees? They are too young to be producing fruit, right?

I only went hunting once with my dad. It was pretty dangerous, so they probably didn't take us again for that reason. We were little kids, and they were rabbit hunting. Keeping a line and being safe is pretty important in that situation. I could have easily done something stupid and been shot on accident.

Still, I wish I had learned more. One of my weirdest memories is my dad bringing back a cleaned squirrel in a pot filled with water one night. The cabin of my uncle's place was far away from my dad's place. It took a couple hours to drive home. He had a camper, so we'd be in the back of the truck camper as my dad drove listening to Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell over and over.

One of these days I still want to learn what I need to learn to hunt on my own. It is a valuable skill.

Sort:  

There are pines so yes, a lot of fat wood, we actually just planted 2200 loblolly pines last year. So there is plenty of fat wood producers. I think 3,000 more are planned for next year.

The fruit trees are all new-ish (1-2 years old) except the crab-apple trees they are producing already they are fairly old.

Did you guys put in any bushes for berries? :)
