Came across a couple of yellow birch blowdowns while hunting this fall. As these are fairly rare in my neck of the woods, I've never cut one.
Do they tend to punk out quickly like white birch? I noticed the ones blown over still had all limbs and branches intact versus white birch which seem to decay the minute they fall.
One of them is a beast, about 24" dbh. Only about 150' from a road so if its solid I can noodle into quarters and carry out.
