Today’s scrounge

I didn’t have to go far for this one or work very hard at it One of the tree services that gives me wood showed up across the street this morning, crane and all. Had a quick chat with the owner and the deal was done.



Had to go to work. When I got home the back yard had this in it.



One big pignut. About 30” DBH. 24’ of trunk log and a few pieces of the crown. The ‘little stuff’ all went into his chipper.


The tree died real fast. I noticed it had a few dead branches last year and then this most of the rest of it died off this year.

 

Sweet Hickory score! I’m jealous

 

That's a nice thing to come home to!

 

Nice! Cant get much easier than that. Did the crane just swing and drop it in the yard? Looks like all the meat is good too. Kinda cool looking ends on a couple of the logs.

 

How plentiful is hickory down your way?

 

It’s everywhere in the woods, but not as plentiful as all the Oak species.

 

Tremendous score! Nice when they come easy but there will be some wallowing those big boys.

 

Good looking pup.

 

Awesome score!!! This is happening to me now. RIght up the street they cut down 2 tulip yellow poplars....and I'm going to help myself to a truckload or two of the primo rounds.

 

It’s common but oak and maple are the most prominent.

 

You and your delivered scores! Cute pup
