A bear paid me a visit last night.
This is an old MacIntosh I planted back in the mid-80's before I knew anything about apple trees. It's planted in a frost pocket with too much shade but somehow produces a few apples most years.
After it did it's damage it didn't even clean up the apples. a pair of does were munching them in when I walked around the bend in the trail.
The claw marks weren't long or deep so was probably a small bear.
This tree is located at the southern end of my Back40 luckily most of my young trees are planted in the northern end.
