    I'm usually pretty good with this but not sure on this stuff. I'm thinking some type of hickory. It has a smell like a horse barn area. Not really like horse crap though. And it is not pizz elm.

    I thought that may be it. Probably another pickup load so now that I have identified it as hickory I'll try and get it.

    I've never been near a pig but it smelled like manure. They make a huge mess of the ground, then roll in it. yuk. I wonder what wild pigs do?

    Looks like Pignut to me, or one of the similar hickories. There are actually several types of Hickory similar to Pignut, but the wood of all is about the same as Pignut.
