There will also be a lot of disappointed whitetails and bears this fall if that orchard burns.

There are no bear or whitetail in 24B.

The Coues I shot there a couple years ago was lost, alone and rabid.

Just read on the Tonto Twitter page that the work done around the Reavis Ranch area was successful. They released the following pictures. Looks like the orchard is ok. 

“....personnel are happy to report that mitigation efforts in the Reavis Ranch area, including the "Medusa Mother Tree", historic homestead foundation, old orchard, and Mexican spotted owl habitat were successful..”

Never been there, just heard the stories. How many trees are in it?

Always wanted to go but I like to hike but not a touristy person where there is a constant flow of people. Maybe next year if my ankles get better and I can hike more than 3 or 4 miles a day.

Listen Bambi, they can all leave the county ahead of time. 

Trees are just a little more rooted. You should visit, it's an AZ treasure.

They have to save something.

But the sheep habitat there is screwed. Looks like just about everywhere I have seen them is moonscaped.

As much as we all hate wildfires and the damage they do to wildlife, they will come back, return.... that orchard and homestead is 150+ years old. Not to mention the magnificent tree they must call “medusa mother’s tree” that I took this photo with in 2014. Once they are destroyed they do not come back.   I love reavis ranch and I was very happy with the news
