Are your trees being killed by the beatle?
It looks like it could be decent hog country. WEEEEEEEEEEE
Looking good Casey, lots easier to have defendable space with the brush out of there.
BP.

By the way, I read yesterday that the projection of conifer tree mortality for 6 central Sierra counties is estimated to be 129 million trees.
Oil Slick: We are at the 2400'elevation. The conifers and beetle kill start at about 2700'. I think our oaks just died from plain old effects of drought. I think the mortality is about double normal.
OIH: We do have pigs and see sign from time to time. Actually saw our first 2 last month. First time in 20 years. Luckily we are not nearly as infested with the vermin swine as the coastal counties.
Bruce: Yes, it has been an effort to create a defensible space. Water storage, weed control, back-up gen and the D6 are about we can do to protect ourselves. The fire dept is about 5 miles but would probably get here in time to save the foundation. They do their best but only so much can be done when mother nature makes her run.

Them hogs multiply fast. I was commissioned to protect some severely hog damaged vineyards up by Rockville a few years ago when I was building a medical facility in Fairfield. If you get over overrun by them I am a squealing volunteer ready to help. Hope you still get a bit more rain to help out.
That looks much better, nice D6 also
