    So what's a guy to do? Take it right? Friends neighbor had a big red oak topped out. He wanted to leave the trunk for wildlife purposes, but said I could have the rest. So I hooked up the trailer and headed over this morning. Pretty nice load, still have some bigger rounds that will need to be split, but I got that covered.

    Eric VW grabbing it cheap and stacking it deep. Not sure it would be very cheap for you coming from VW.

    "He wanted to leave the trunk for wildlife purposes, but said I could have the rest."


    So, he wants to help the wildlife with a tree trunk. Okay. I wonder if he is in love with a woodpecker. It won't help much else. But good that you got that wood. Sweet!

    Maybe it's a good place to set up a tree stand, and he meant "for harvesting wildlife purposes." :)

    Either way, great score! Loves me some red oak.
