Took off work to fish last Thursday and the local tree company delivered a care package. Delivered right to the house, can't beat that. I managed 15 and my buddy managed 18 fishing the smoke hole section of the south branch of the Potomac in wv.

They do okay, but they're both smaller than I'd like and I'm looking forward to buying a full size truck and a tandem axle trailer this summer. I borrowed the trailer in the picture from a buddy of mine. Beginning in June I will only have one kid in daycare/preschool for the first time in five...

I cut some wood on Sunday. I hauled home a load of red oak and a load of white oak. Here is what remains of the red oak after I filled the trailer. Someone had already gotten all of the branches and left just the trunk from the routes up through a big gnarly crotch. It was nice to have...

Had family in town this weekend, plus soccer games for the kids, and a men's rugby game for myself so very little time to scrounge. Managed to pull two loads like this yesterday from the property that was timbered. The second load isn't pictured and it was a bigger load with bigger branches...

Ill agree with @svk I've cut a large ash tree that had bark like this, but it was the same color throughout when you looked at the rounds. The brown middle of this threw me off.

These rounds are mo' bigger. Now it's dark and raining, I'll get more tomorrow.

I think that's right based on some googling. I grabbed some.

What type of wood is this? Sorry for the poor pics, it was a drive-by as I was late for a meeting.

Dents add character and are inevitable. In fact, everyone who buys a new truck should hit a fender or side of the truck bed with a hammer to get that first dent out of the way.

A friend had part of his property timbered and I get to scrounge what's left. My future scrounger.

Sorry, it is sold.

I always thought tulip poplar had smooth bark, but I just googled it and it's rough. Damn it. Oh well, it was already on the ground, I just cut it to length to fit in the truck bed. Yea the ranger is 4x4.

It's in good shape, just won't haul the loads I'd like to put on it. It's the 4.0 v6 with a 5 speed. I have three kids now and it isn't good for carrying kids. We'll have one daycare bill beginning in June and I'll pick up a truck payment then. We've had two kids in daycare for the past 5...

Responded to an ad on Facebook about some oak. It was out of the way, but close to a spot I hunt ducks so I went by after this mornings hunt. Those poor springs on the danger ranger. I get to buy a new truck in June, I've been driving the ranger since I bought it new 13 years ago.

Yeah it's an old farm house and calling their repairs "shade tree" would be a compliment or an insult to actual shade tree mechanics.

The blower went out on our Buck 27000 insert yesterday. Well it hasn't gone out completely, but it turns off and on intermittently and doesn't stay on long enough to circulate enough air to truly heat the house the way we have grown to like it. The funny thing is when we bought this house last...

That's a clean saw. Looks good.

Definitely have to trim all the fat, silver skin, and connective tissue. It's not like pork fat or beef fat, it will ruin the flavor of the meat. Here is my 4 year old putting in some work. He's a fan of Steven Rinella's show Meat Eater and wants to help.

Saw this today on my lunch break. Decided to talk to the tree guys and ended up getting five loads of oak. Had the danger ranger today so they were small loads. I had been using my buddy's trailer, but he needed it. He actually asked if he could "borrow" his own trailer. Two loads were 6'...

Nice. Our season comes in on 11/15, but the duck hunting isn't great in this part of VA. My best day in the past few years was 4 mallards in one outing. Seems I scrounge ducks and scratch out a few here and there like I do firewood to cut. What double barrel are you shooting?
