Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[.358 win]

Curious,, is

Speaking of medium bores, I am looking to change up my hog rifle.

Current rifle is a savage 110 long range in .338 federal. Hits extremely hard but the barrel is way too long for shooting our of blinds and at close quarters. Rather than paying to cut the barrel I think I am going to find a different rifle. Also the comb of that rifle is too high for my cheek and I do not want to raise the scope either as it is already so large with the night scope on it.

Curious,,, is there one or two in particular you are looking for ? Lever or something else ? I'm lever lover, cause I hunt mostly in dense cover. 200 grain pills.

Bolt..probably just 308 or something similar in a shorter barrel.

Just need a cheaper gun that shoots decently...with a night scope, shots are short

Cooked breakfast in my favorite cast iron. Burned firewood and caught up on 16 pages is all I accomplished today!

You're a light eater?

Anybody know what this is?.... my best guess is some type of elm, however it's not as stringy as most of the elm I've cut in the past.
It was a farmyard tree so it doesn't have to be native to South misery.

Possibly Red (Slippery) Elm?

Possibly Red (Slippery) Elm?

Possibly... the but log is about 24" diameter for what that's worth.
Oh yeah, the wood smells kinda like mold when fresh cut.

Black Walnut maybe?

Sorry but we already have an @Sawdust Man ur gonna have to keep ur name KK.

 

[Kodiak Kid]

but but but .... what about my 170 with a 48" ?????
I will say I bought a pro mac 850 ( 85ish cc) that had a 16" bar on it. WOW would it eat a 16" log!!

I slapped a 16 on my 660 once for ripping 6"-8"pecker poles in half fir fence posts. Your absolutely right. Insane power!

Dinner

 

[JustJeff]

You're a light eater?

Lol, I should be! Could stand to lose a pound or thirty! Makes a perfect sized egg sammich with cheese and hot sauce. Hamburger bun in this case but bagel or english muffin get used too depending on what's kicking around.

 

[JimR]

Is he asking where his bird friend went after the feeder? Or maybe is he cooking in a Lodge skillet? Or I saw a bear please get your greasegun?

You should see those birds zigzagging when they run.

Nice handle.
Unrelated question since I saw the bx in the picture. How do you like it? Been thinking of ditching my cub and yanmar since deck parts are expensive fir the cub and both rare and expensive for the yanmar.

Been there and all I have to say is Round Stack!

 

[djg james]

Before the snow came in this morning, while i could still drive on the ground with my truck, I got a load of Maple camp wood up my hill and stacked/cpvered. Made it up the hill just before it really started to come down. My exercise for the day.

Now I'm sitting in front of the tube by the fire. Nothing really on. Watching an old Alan Ladd movie "Guns of Timberland". Logging story before power saws. Cutting and bucking trees with two-man saws. I bet they went dull fast.

The round stack is where it's at.

The Holz Hausen, I've always wanted to try one but I don't think my wife would like stacks of wood peppered around the yard!

My FIL has owned a bx for over 20 years. It has around 2,300 hrs on the meter, and it went through a couple year stretch that it did not work. It is comfy enough to sit on all day cutting grass with a 5ft. belly mower and just about unstopable in the winter with a 4ft. front mount snowblower. It has pulled countless heavy loads of firewood in his old pickup truck bed trailer. I've replaced a few hoses, a starter, an alternator, a head light switch and a couple tie-rod ends. I also rebuilt the steering cylinder and welded up the air filter bracket when it rattled apart. They are small, but every bit the quality that has built their reputation.
