I have one apple tree down near the pipeline that has dropped a bunch of apples and they are not being eaten. I do check for sign. Have a few deer tracks, but not as many as there used to be. Had a flock of 14 turkeys that I saw once in a while during the summer, but they seem to have moved on.

I am beginning to think that my main problem is the multiflora rose that has clogged many of the trails. Unfortunately, this will be a tough problem to solve. It's too big for the brush hog and cutting it by hand is asking for a blood transfusion. Chemicals that will contol it are also bad for some of the trees I want to keep.

Airedales hunt for feather or fur!
