When you’re talking a stack of rounds versus a stack of splits, then yes I absolutely agree with you.Bringing up an old issue. When you split a rick, rack, pile, whatever of wood you will come out with a larger, not smaller measure. I know, look at all those big holes. But your new stack has more volume in those all those small holes,. every time you split a pieced you increase the square surface footage of the new piece. I used to estimate the increase as about 10% but it is probably more like 5% or less. There used to be a sticky on the subject.sg
Shoot, I haven't seen a grouse in years, only co ck birds we see are the ones released every year by the game commission. Plenty of rabbits. When they get too thick I start shooting them.I heard that our grouse are down in quantity. I haven't done any bird hunting in over 20 years. I know we have a few on the 19 acre woodlot and some rabbits. I see them when using my tractor.
Just finished putting this bugger together. The wife said the kids didn't get any big presents in a while...Merry Christmas fellas
Wife always thinks she didn’t get enough for the kids, I always think it’s too muchView attachment 1138516
Yeah... I was treasurer for a Ruffed Grouse Society chapter for 10 years. Sadly we didn't have much success in the Hudson Valley and Catskills. In areas owned by NYS or NYC where some grouse still existed RGS couldn't gain access from DEC or DEP to do habitat work... Their biologists and foresters were on board but upper management vetoed the plans. I used to flush grouse and wild pheasants a lot 50 - 60 years ago near my family home... grouse nested on our property and pheasants would drop by. I haven't seen any pheasants there in probably 45 years or grouse in 40 years. I haven't put up a grouse in the Woodstock area in probably 25 years. The habitat is no good for them any more...Shoot, I haven't seen a grouse in years, only co ck birds we see are the ones released every year by the game commission. Plenty of rabbits.

Set up a wind turbine farm...While there are numerous predators, like fox, coyote and bobcat, I think the most overlooked (and protected) predators are birds of prey. Hawks are protected and seem to be in the sky perpetually. I think something needs to be done about this. Predators, that are no longer endangered, should not continue to be protected. Would be cool to bring a hawk to the taxidermist!
