    I'm always on the lookout for wood that needs cut while hunting. Spied this blown over ash tree. I didn't look close but when I got there today turns out it was 2 ash trees .Gonna make some wood. Some long time small dead standing locust in the area too.:makeitrain" 20191220_124304.jpg 20191220_130808.jpg

    Nice load! That locust will be nice too I bet being dead a while. Just bang the ants out and good to go.

    Bag any meat yet this year?

    If I've said it once I've said it a hundred times "nothing like some nice ash".

    Only got a doe. When I found this wood I was walking for some other guys to push deer. The locust trees aren't that big. Might just burn them as rounds. Ants are BTU's too.:thumbs:

    Nice score there! Nice to be able to get the tractor in to haul out the rounds. I do the same when I’m out for deer... find myself “hunting” for trees more than deer....

    Nice farmer steve. I too, when hunting, find many trees that need cutting. Sometimes even find our Christmas tree. Occasionally I find a nice buck too!

    My dad always said that, and it's true. Bugs are BTUs.

    There was some big stuff too but that gave me a reason to get the 462 out and do some noodling. :)

    Thanks. 2 buckets split tossed in from the splitter yield about 1/4 cord. This was the last bucket today. I throw it on till it starts falling off. 20191227_153041.jpg
