Couple of neighbors already told me they will post no Sunday hunting signs if they open up Sunday hunting. I hear enough shooting Sundays with the gun club a1/4 mile away.I am amazed that the no hunting on Sunday still exists in certain places.
There aren't enough hunters to create a problem anymore...where I hunt, I used to see 25 guys everyday and the road parked full. I haven't seen more than one hunter in the past ten years...and that was on the adjacent property.Couple of neighbors already told me they will post no Sunday hunting signs if they open up Sunday hunting.

Dont like to hear that. Hope all turns out ok.FYI, Scott (TM) is in the Hospital with heart problems.
That looks like Hackberry. Not too bad for firewood.Got paid to drop a few trees at a neighbor's new house lot last week. As an added bonus, I got to bring home a trailer load of firewood.

Yeah, the few hackberries I've seen near the Connecticut River in southern NH/VT were pretty easily distinguished by their warty bark. Not sure they even grow in central NH, lots of trees survive near the river that don't a few miles away, cottonwood for instance does great on the islands and shores of the Connecticut but does not thrive 10 miles east or west of the river in southern VT/NH.That does not look like any of the hackberry around here. I am not sure what it is....
Don't you worry at all, that locust should be plenty dry by then, it has a very low moisture content even when standing green.I’ve got 8.5 cords currently stacked and split. Burn 6 a year. We are getting so much rain that im afraid my wood piles are not going to be ready this winter. This has GOT TO STOP or my wood burning this winter is screwed. Though all six of my cords that will be used this winter are types that definitely season faster I am still worried.
This winter im probably going to be burning about 75% black locust, and The rest is a mixture of a little cottonwood some maple and cherry.

I am overwhelmed with wood this year, somewhere north of 80 cord split,stacked, cured (60 of locust). Normally burn 6+ a year but somehow came closer to 8 this eyar in spite of a mild winter. Normally burn 50% locust, 50% willow but this year I am mixing in maple, poplar, cottonwood. Tree service just dropped off about 3 cord poplar that I really have no place to put it where it will cure well. I have to tell him "no more". Meanwhile I'm still clear cutting a 1/2 mile of old willow for a farmer - nice wood to process but not 'quality'. I should be finished with that project this year. I like it, got a customer taking 6 cord/yr so between him and I the surplus usually disappears. Not now. I already have 11 cord of cured willow taking up good 'curing space' - single stacks long the fences of the lot (1/2 acre of pasture).
Time to hang up the chainsaws I am afraid. Had open spine surgery to clear out some arthritis last year, this year my legs give out after about 3 hours of 'wooding'. 84 and was hoping to keep going but it is looking dubious.
Sounds like with your surplus of wood you have the luxury of choice. 3 hours of wood is a significant amount of work even for younger guys like cowboy said. I hope you keep well and are still able to keep your bar in the wood at your own pace.I am overwhelmed with wood this year, somewhere north of 80 cord split,stacked, cured (60 of locust).
