Personally, it ruins it. I stop everything and gather piñón nuts.
The piñon trees form green “pine cones” the first year, which then mature and dry out opening the cone's petals gradually to drop the nuts in the second year.
Yeah people go crazy when the nuts are dropping. No Trespassing signs are ignored and in our neighborhood we’ve had multiple instances of people cutting barb wire fences to get access! The last big harvest they were selling pinion nuts for $40/lb !
When I was a kid we would stop hunting midday and pick them. Usually a long drive home after that because we used our shirts to hold them all. That and having sap all over you.
Oh! I’ve never considered the bears! We’ve got bears here and now that I think about it the sight of me crawling around on all fours pawing the ground for nuts might appear pretty appetizing to a bear … kinda like a feral pig but with more fat.
I didn’t know you could trespass for em. They got any of them nuts up in Utah or Idaho? #pinonfreak #gamechanger #onebadnutcop
Yeah the pinion tree sap makes a mess. I don’t wear long sleeve shirts or good hats when working with piñon firewood or collecting nuts. I’d rather scrub my arms and hands (and scalp) raw then ruin even my work shirts. I will wear an old ratty work coat if cold, it’s already messed up.When I was a kid we would stop hunting midday and pick them.

People shouldn’t trespass if signs are posted. A number of them do anyway.
Before you flash, does that mean yes, apparently I’ll need it in writing.
’s about private property! We have to patrol on horse back and the highway! Clean up everything from diapers to beer bottles! Found one group 2 miles off the highway!
Then everyone wonders why LO’s can be assholes. Reality is most are good people as long as you respect their land.It’s a freaking circus at our place when the piñon comes! People give absolutely no
They twist the barb wire and leave so the calves get out it’s just a disaster! The people who ask permission are always granted it from us because there’s plenty to go around, the nuts aren’t the issue it’s the filthy pigs .

Yessir! All we ask is if you want to pick piñon pull in and ask permission!
a so I took their 5 gallon bucket of nuts ! ’n people!!!
We don’t have a gate off the highway only to headquarters. Reason being if someone has the respect to ask permission well more than likely gladly give it. Even to hunt.
The empty ones ( vano) usually have a pail gray tint .
Yes. And once you get down and dirty and calibrate your piñon-picking hands, you can easily tell if a nut is a dud or has good meat!
