Just hoping to see some pics of your woodlot or favorite firewood cutting places. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I guess if I were showing honey holes, there’s not much to see. It’s often just open lots in a city or a field.
Typical New England forests are pretty damm thick this time of year. Not much to see. Really not that attractive even when you can see. Here’s one of the prizes I’m going after once the rattlesnakes den up. Taken last winter sometime of course.
Five years ago I would have thought that was a joke. Those and the copperheads have been making a serious comeback.
Nope, I live right in between two of CT’s denning areas. Once named Rattlesnake Hill on the real old maps. State changed the names once they took over the property. They’ve always been here. Used to be a lot more. This entire forest was once covered with wild blueberry bushes. Grandma told me there was a snake under every bush waiting to pick off a bird. She picked the berries during the depression for money. There’s not enough where they come into the yards anymore but I seldom walk into the forest during the high season. I’m not much of fan of snakes with fangs.
One thing about this part of the Pacific Northwest, there are no snakes to worry about. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I get a lot of my wood from a golf course in Columbus. They generally cut down way more than I can haul out without owning a dump trailer. I am lucky to have a good friend who also likes to cut wood and drive tractors.
The only problem we have with brush is the autumn olive which is spreading like a house afire. What happens is that the birds eat the olives and where the birds go, there is more. In addition, it grows exceedingly fast. I've cut some before just curious how quickly it grows and have had it grow 3' in a month or less. Crazy. The only good thing about it is that it does provide good cover for deer.
