Mrs. Thumbcocker and I are really smitten with southern Utah. We were wondering if our lifestyle would transplant there. We own over 60 acres of land. We have a garden, fruit trees and all the firewood we need on the land. We also each get free landowner deer and Turkey tags. We have no problem getter g 2 or 3 deer a year. Just walk out the back door and get into our stand. (1/4 mile or so walk).
The question is: How feasible is a similar lifestyle in Utah? Firewood looks a more scarce in lots of places. Also is it feasible for a couple of folks in their 60's to hunt enough red meat to get by? I handgun hunt exclusively so that would be a factor. Don't care about horns just meat. Also how about garden and fruit trees? Input would be appreciated.
