    Winter is Coming! Checklists, tips, advice for a newbie

    I live in the puget sound. We get cold but nothing below 0. Thank you for the advice though. I would really feel better about using tarp but trying to convince him is proving difficult. I'll probably just get the supplies and rummage through his tools and do it myself lol

    re"home" left behind peafowl

    Ok trying to find their nesting area may prove difficult for where we live. Another question. The young ones all look female...? Im guessing they are 6-7 months old about. Just wondering if it takes a while to be able to tell or not.

Any suggestions? We have coyotes and occasionally cougars and very rarely bears. Because we pretty...
