Yesterday's cuttings

[jcappe]

I had yesterday afternoon off work and it was a perfect 65 degrees so I loaded the saws up and headed to the woods. I found a 16-18" DBH ash that had part of the top wind damaged and hanging so I cut it along with a burnable size maple branch that had broke off close to where I was cutting. I love this time of year and do as much cutting as I can fit in before bow season starts really going. I enjoy viewing peoples pics so I just figured I would share a few that I took yesterday. I also found the motherload of locust that are good straight trees and should be easy bucking.

Dropped, limbed and bucked

These were not fun to load by myself

After this pic is when I enjoyed a beer while sitting on the tailgate and taking it all in.

Those rounds don't look too secure.

Sure wish we had ash out here though. I am jealous.

Great pics and looks like a good day in the woods, but you scared all of the deer away...:jawdrop:

This area is my meat area. I could have probably sat in the stand which is in front of the truck 60 yards and shot a doe last night. I don't cut in my other piece of ground until December when everything is winding down because it is my honey hole.

Those rounds don't look too secure.

I did resituate the two rounds on the ends before I left for home. They weren't going anywhere. The truck is only a 1/2 to boot so I don't break any speed records when loaded either. Although I probably could since it is a Ford and all. :greenchainsaw:

Nice work....

I hate having to crawl into truck bed to stack wood for hauling, so I take the trailer and just toss it in. At the same time , it's a pain to hook up the trailer and drag it throught the woods, etc. I think it would be nice if I could just morph the wood into a stack by the boiler, and then drink beer on the tailgate...

Nice pictures. I love this tiem of year too.. not to hot not to cold, if you build up abit of a sweet working the wind will always come around and take the edge off. I wish I had time to got cut a few trees out back.. soon

It was perfect weather you are right about the wind. Jeans, long sleeve T and very little sweat makes a great day. We got dowsed with rain all day yesterday so it kind of spoiled my plans of going back down this weekend. We'll see though I might be able to find something on higher ground.
