What is it that you’re pretending to do in the first two?
The windstorm Monday nite help raise my scrounging numbers. All ash and mostly all solid except 2-4 rounds close to the stump. About 6 buckets out of the tree in front of tractor.
I’ve been learning about sawmills.
Using a winch and cable to safely direct a popple tree. There are power lines near by and it was in the corner of the property, we didn't want it to go the wrong way and the tree had center rot. Were not pros by any means.

The grouse and woodcock have disappeared where our 40 acres are at now that all the popple trees have grown up. If you can find new growth stands 1-4" diameter and under 25' tall it's usually great grouse hunting here in michigan.
We get those during growing season also. I Also get Early Girls, Roma, and the Cherry. Normally I have about 17 plants in all.
For some reason I think I would have a hard time explaining watching that if my wife walked by. I think Ill have to steer clear of that one.
No doubt but the young lady is quite knowledgeable on wood milling and saw mills and the projects she works on. If she just wore a pair of overalls probly not much to worry about. I always pray I have a waiter instead of a waitress when i take the wife out to eat.
Someone earlier in the thread jokingly posted there should be bans for people who burn gas or pellets. What about flammable rocks?
There was a sawmill in the video?
If you turn those big trees into stumps the new stump growth will make it attractive again.
Too large of an area just devoid of grouse to just blame it on habitat.
Seeing so many more coyotes and so many more birds of prey ... they have to be a big factor.
I have also noticed there are far fewer rabbits, and when you see one or two, they are not around for long.
I used to find they had nested in my garden every spring, using whatever I mulched with as bedding.

Guess I have a good habitat for them I’ll keep a look out. I do have a abundance of Doves . Scare the crap out of me every time I walk the field. This time of year the rest under my deck near the bird feeders . And all take flight as soon as step out to the deck . And one that got to close to my place
I don't know FS, when you start noodling straight grain Ash, your saw must be running real well!
FYI, Randy did a real nice thread on the 400 on some other site. Very informative, explains the differences between the 400 and 362.
The conclusion, he is a fan of this model!

No no no. Anything that would make your home comfortable must be banned..... says the ones who have the stat set at 75 in their penthouse and private jets.
It does look pretty good… The RGS biologist found grouse in that area so it’s promising…
Predation is part of it… one of the reasons grouse need high stem count woody cover is for protection from predators and raptors.
Thanks griz! We try to do as much wildlife management as possible on our land with food plots, planting apple trees, hinge cutting desirable browse, maintaining existing apple producing trees, etc. Some food plot pics by my deer blind. I have planted about 8 apple trees around the perimeter in the last few years

Per a local state wildlife biologist, if you take 2-8 or 10”inch logs spaced 10 inches apart and make a 12 to 15 foot diameter brush pile on top of them it creates an ideal breeding habitat for rabbits and your rabbit population will increase. Let’s them get away from predators. Seems to work.
That's what we do or throw a couple pallets down and stack brush on top. The clover plots really increased the rabbit population in the area I even had a family or 2 of geese last spring! Never would of thought that and all the mama deer basically have there fawns in it. I have some pics somewhere where the mama just had the baby but with 1000's of pics to sort thru its tough finding them sometimes.
