-19 this morning. I’m on my way to my daughter’s basketball game. Good way to spend the morning.
Sad to say, it's pert'near 200 weight right now during the extended quarantine.What weight oil ya run in that thing Jere. Glad we haven't seen 10* this year so far.
It hit here this year in the lower counties . Friend in Orange county near newburgh found upwards of 20 dead in the woods he hunts . Mostly near a water sourceSad to say, it's pert'near 200 weight right now during the extended quarantine.
Now, to join another topic on this thread: A couple years ago this area was hit hard by a White Tail Deer disease called EHD (epizootic hemorrhagic disease) struck hard the week before archery season, swiftly decimated almost all the deer in the woods behind my house. As near as I could count, the EHD could as well have stood for "Entire Herd Dead".
Sadly after watching these two guys on my game camera all summer long, and into September, on the first day in my stand I smelled a clear scent of death. I found my two trophy targets less than 100 yards apart, and within smell range of my stand.

The herd has not come back in the woods behind my house. A couple medium body 8pts this year, I didn't even draw. I hope the herd replenishes.
Most of the ones I found were near water too. It's referred to here as "blue tongue" by the hunters, myself included that can't pronounce the EHD. I counted over 40 in the woods behind my house, and among the farms around here I know of upwards of 200 counted by folks I know can count.It hit here this year in the lower counties .

Took a big dead ash down this morning down back in the fence row. NO WIRE!!! Few noodles for your viewing pleasure.View attachment 887737View attachment 887738
Nice! Great pictures Steve! Not sure about saw cluttering up the picture though, lol.Hauled this 54 foot long oak scrounge in this morning. A little punky in a few spots but mostly good overall. 3 buckets full. Best part only a 3 minute drive across the street.

Is that the same thing as CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease?) which is what they call it around here?Most of the ones I found were near water too.

That was the 261 in the pic Nate. Used that for the small end then grabbed the 462 for the rest. Biggest thing I have found on the flippy caps is keeping the gasket and threads clean. Seems it doesn't take much fine dirt to make them leak. A few guys I know tried the AM caps and had problems with them. The site won't let me see your pics.Nice! Great pictures Steve!

Alright I have to admit the 462 is actually my favorite saw. Sthil don’t like the fuel/ oil caps but other than that it’s really a great saw. My older one both caps were leaking, tried some aftermarket ones, lasted about a month. Decided to get Sthil ones, had a set saved in my cart, went to order couple days later-sold out, most places were, finally found a single one, they had 2 in stock so ordered it real quick View attachment 887923blue o ring on this one maybe it will be better. Hope people can go back to work and start making stuff again, been trying to find a 28” tusamara light husky mount .050 for few months everyone sold out.
Did find a .043 gauge bar and chain for the echo 2411View attachment 887925
Hopefully that will work better and have less chatter.
Nope, two different diseasesI

As for the deer disease, the farm I hunt wasn’t effected, thank God, but one town over..... my pal found a whole herd dead in a pond. Seems they would go to the water trying to cool themselves down. Sad, I hope it was a one year thing around here!
Well unless my eyes are playing tricks on me (which could be) the saw in the picture says 462 on the starter? Either way the 261 and 462 are great saws. I see what your saying about just using the 462, seems like I use it more for everything rather than switching to a different size saw.

I went back and looked at your post. When I first looked at it and replied it had the quote with the oak and the 261. Now both quotes are there and your pics. Yes that was the 462 in the pic with the ash . No need to make an eye doctor appt. LOL.Well unless my eyes are playing tricks on me (which could be) the saw in the picture says 462 on the starter?

When something is bleeding internally it gets to a water source dehydrationAs for the deer disease, the farm I hunt wasn’t effected, thank God, but one town over..... my pal found a whole herd dead in a pond.
