Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Ambull01]

Another late start today. Had to drop off a lawn tractor and go with the wife car shopping again. She has her new used car now, so she can leave me be for a while. Cut down a 21 dbh white oak, bucked it, brushed it and loaded it. Was to dark for a load pic but it looks like all the other loads. I did get a pic of the downed tree and stump.

Nice, clean cuts Stihly. Definitely worth the pic. Could eat off that little tabletop.

Thanks Ambull, but the pic is a bit deceiving. The 20'' bar did not reach through the tree so I went in from both sides. That threw me angles off, as you can see I am about an inch under cut on the right. It did fall exactly on the spot, which surprised me because of the high winds.

They will be smaller once the tree is cut up . . .

Got some more fence line oak today with the farmers help. He ripped down a dead leaner for me with his tractor. I took a video.

Nice scrounge, lotta wood. Jeez...I think he needs another round of tires on that poor tractor, lol. Just outta curiosity, I ain't no farmer...how much does a single tire on that tractor cost? And then to have it bead/ring mounted, I suppose? Just curious...

The 034 super got quite a workout with 4 oaks in total and 6 tanks of gas.

Not sure on the cost. They don't need to be replaced that often. They use more tires to spread out the weight so as not to pack down the ground as much.

That's a scrounge from hell there...good on you. Plenty of wood.

I understand that theory. I know they last a helluva long time, I bet they're pricey though. Better have some money set back if ya had to replace a set of those things.

depending on exact size they run $2-3 THOUSAND each. i think you get free mounting at that price.

Last day of deer hunting for us. We've given it a lot of time and the deer just aren't out there. I located some fresher tracks yesterday but still no luck.

My hunting buddy isn't a fan of 5 am wake ups.

Saw four this morning...three slickheads and a little basket rack 8-pointer. Let'em walk. This cold snap we've got lingering over us here in Ga has got'em moving. Holding out for a better set of horns than what I saw, wish now I'd a dropped that biggest slickhead dead in her tracks. Ain't that the way it always works...the hindsight theory, lol?

Scrounge on gents, whether wood or deer.

Crazy a damn tire would cost that much. I guess it pans out when they last many years. Yeh, at that price, I'd tell'em I want them Armor-All'd too.

Saw one doe. She of course snuck through the thickest crap imaginable and detected us as well.

That's their forte...stuff so thick you'd have to tote a can of gas and a match and burn'em out of it.

Best way to go see deer is go turkey hunting or squirrel hunting while toting a 22.....
