This was damaged by the ice storm 2 or 3 years ago so I finally dropped it before it got bad, I'll be splitting it tomorrow. The deer should like the tops I left them.
I did plenty of walking around today looking for more topped off Sugar Maple, I found about three that I feel are safe to drop, the deer will like that. I also found two Beech and two more damaged American Hophornbeam.
The deer are loving life more thanks to an easy winter and Woody's twig tips. More snow would be nice, but an extended cutting season aint to bad either....
One thing about hard maple is that you usually don't have to look far to find some damaged or rotting trees.
After putting in some wood this morning, I s/s the Sugar Maple on top of some Pine just to get it off the ground. I had planned to go get more damaged Ironwood today but my hamstring is tighter than tight so I have a heating pad on it.
Zap, how much snowpack do you guys have? Have you and the Mrs. ridden the sleds at all this winter? We've got a POSSIBLE big storm coming our way this weekend, my fingers are crossed!! I wanna get the sled out and go do some cutting on the farm!!
Would be better if they listed some flowers the deer don't care for. No one in my family would place artificial flowers on a grave.
We only have 3-4 inches of Sugar Snow, the sleds haven't been on any trails yet. This storm for the east coast might not give us any snow. I was telling Sav today that we really didn't start riding last year until that first week in February. If we get two months of riding, we'll be lucky. Last year we rode the week before Thanksgiving for about three days (our property) and then we started in late January or the beginning of February on the county trails, last year March gave us some of our better days for riding.
ZAP. How and where do you carry all those Cinnimon Rolls into the woods on your sled? Scotty. You are going to have to slow down in order to pick that wood up on the way by you know.
