Friend of mines sister is building a new home. Noticed all the dozed trees where they cut in the drive. Asked about it and now have permission to clean up about 15 acres of woods.
Access to 15 acres?....Yeah I would call that a pretty good score. Set for life sounds more like it! Never hurts to ask as they say
Correct.....should be good to go for awhile!! Of course I have my eyes on a few other good spots as well
By the way that's a gorgeous impressive sized house they're building...I even like it in the green wrap!
Great looking property. If it’s anything like here, there will be more than enough blowdown and storm damage to keep you well stocked and busy. If given that kind of deal, I would offer to cut brush for them. Not only could it possibly be a benefit for them, once you got it cleaned up it would make harvesting the wood easier.

Nice score Ron T ! I got one or two like that years back & they knew somebody that knew somebody & now I've got ~ 1500 acres to cut on. Only shortage I've got now is time. Well done!
Great Ron! That is soft maple. Some folks don't like it but we love it here. However, for night fires we do use something that lasts a bit longer. Soft maple does give coals and lots of heat but just doesn't last as long. Also, it dries fast. That which you cut today if split and stacked out in the wind will be plenty dry by next fall. Easy splitting too. We also love it for making kindling. Split small it dries super fast and is a quick easy light-off which also gives good flame for starting other wood.
Ron T how is the hunting in your area. Do you hunt with bow or shotgun? I was recently surprised to find out that archery season lasted well into January in your area.
Once hec of a score and nice ease of mind knowing that the wood is there on your sister property, can come and go as you please to take it, well done!
