Went out for what I was thinking would be the normal snatch and grab a dead tree here and there. I have done most all my cutting on my land this year.... though I have a wonderful neighbor that owns thousands of acres and has given me unlimited access to dead and fell trees on his land as well. He has logging done regularly and therefore tops are everywhere. 2 weeks ago I went over on some of the area I cut on him and found the power company cleaned some dead trees of the line rightaway and cut them in 4 foot lengths for me already yeeeeehaaaaa. So to day I went back to go alittle futher down the rightaway to see if there was more. I didn't go far.... didn't find any in the distance I went but what I found was great. Seems the area was logged a few years back and just a 100 yards off the line rightaway I found 4 big white oak tops....... 5 dead standing pine 60 foot tall. I worked must all it up in less than an hour due to the way the tops where laying. Dropped the 5 pine and cut them up. and when I took a water break I decided I was gonna walk alittle further back in the woods..... and BAM!!!!!!!!!!!! MOTHER LOAD. There was an area with tops everywhere...... was like I was given my very own propane company the way I felt at that moment, lol. anyway I didn't get it all to the house tonite.... but I did get 2 loads here. Best part is his land joins mine and I am working less than an eight mile from the house. I get in and out of his woods with my rancher and a 4x4 trailer that I haul 4 foot cord wood on. Cut it up when I get it home. Just wanted to share my excitement.... and wish you all some of my luck..........
