I'm normally a skidder operator, but I have recently had a job offer that will bring home $35 an hour after taxes cutting trees. I will be a temporary employee of the road commision, they want to widen a road but need trees cleared on either side of the road to do so. they tell me it will take 4 or 5 weeks but ive seen it, it's a 2 or 3 week job, but if they say its gonna take 4 to 5 weeks and they want to pay me that kind of hourly wage, its gonna take 4 to 5 weeks by god! ...anyways, im getting sidetracked..
so ive recently started cutting. gotta get my practice so i dont look so much like a rookie tree cutter in a few weeks when i start this job. ive noticed that you see so much wildlife in the woods when cutting trees. squirrels, raccoons, opossumes...etc.. today for example, i tripped over a fawn that was NOT moving for anything.. so i snapped a picture and stopped working in that side of the woods untill the doe came and took it's baby elsewhere.
just curious to see if anyone else has any pictures of the cool stuff you see in the woods while cutting.
