Nice day in the woods ! Cut for a while loaded for a while , cut a while , load a while>>>>>>>> Woods was nice & dry Trail was a Muddy mess. The hill got greasy slick when it warmed up & melted the top layer no stopping loaded on the way down , dried out some late afternoon:
Was cutting & i felt like something was watching. Looked around & was startled, 25 yards away a moose was waiting for me to load & leave so it could start eating on fresh dropped tree tops: Kept seeing mosse all day, different places , but where I'd dropped a tree Early morning, flash went off, can see it in the eyes Later came to get a load & one was there eating on the tree I just dropped.
X 2 Processing wood is fun, but having mountain views like that, along with hanging out with moose- really cool! Nice work!
Nice work. Your on a mission. Good for you. Gotta get as much as possible and getting ahead ..great pics
You got the whole experience, wood, wildlife, and mud! Love your hauling rig. How much daylight do you get down to in winter?
That guy is back over there again , lets go get some munchies Nice work Dave Do you wait till your all done to clean all the mud off every thing ?
Nice pics, nice job, nice country. Maybe if you dropped the trees a couple days in advance the moose would do all the limbing for ya.
Yea, The rut is finishing up. Last year, mid Oct, I rattled & bull called by a fresh rub on a 5" spruce tree, when I came back to cut the next morning, the tree had no limbs & was knocked over. Smell of a bull was strong. I quit calling , I took the hint. A Big bull said "this my area", looked over my shoulder often that day. Never saw him & didn't want to.
Looks like you enjoyed the moose entertainment on these trips Dave. Man... when you said "Was cutting & i felt like something was watching."... I thought, I'd prolly have to clean my shorts before I'd even get turned around to look... do you carry a big canon on your hip while you're in bar country?
Like all the US, Dec 20th shortest daylight, here just shorter. 5-1/2 hrs : Sunrise and sunset times in Anchorage, December 2015
