With Sandy battering the east coast, I got to thinking... From a biology aspect, what would constitute a good bedding/shelter area from a storm of this magnitude? Pines and blowdowns perhaps, but what kind of topography would provide cover from the wind, rain, and widowmakers from above?
Thick cedars atop a hill, on the sunny side of course. That's what the deer tell me anyway.
Lee side I would think... and as it changes, they'd likely move with changing wind directions.
Course, that wonderful hollow hair coat trumps all man's inventions for foul weather.
I would think low ground, in the lee of some topography, and in thick evergreens
Marriott or Hilton are my first choices. . . .
:bigsmyl:
Lee side, doesn't have to be a big break, a few feet in height would send the wind right over the top.
