You know you heat with wood when.....

[Steve NW WI]

...when you wonder if it's bad etiquette to cut and haul home a load of wood while up north deer hunting. Well, is it? Need an answer before Saturday...

Actually, depending on how much hunting activity there is up there, likely won't on opening weekend, but during the week I think it's fair.

....when you laugh at your city friends as they try to start a fire with the wood they bought at 7-11.

For the deer hunters:

When you pass on the big 10 point and 12 point bucks you been eyeing on the game camera pictures all Fall long, even though they are at 40 yards and you have your muzzle-loader, cause the time you will have to spend butchering them could be spent cutting and splitting firewood.

The deer in my woods are used to hearing chainsaws and other equipment running. I see them all of the time when I am dragging out trees to buck up.

You get a kick out of visitors #####ing about how warm your house is.

Corrolary: You find yourself needing a sweater whenever visiting someone who doesn't heat with wood.

Boxer shorts in January rule

When splitting by starlight, like I was tonight, you pick up a round and set it on the beam and know just how it's going to split by the feel of it.....like a firewood whisperer.

Deer are inquisitive creatures and will move in to investigate most any noise. Even if the noise is something they’ve heard a million times but is coming from an area they’re unaccustomed to hearing it. Several years ago I took my young son deer hunting (stand hunting) on an extremely cold December day. Lacking my body mass he was soon cold and shivering and I told him to walk back to the truck and start it up… run the heater for awhile (I driven the truck right down into the middle of the woods). Well, a few minutes later I hear the truck start… and quite some time later it’s still running. I finally decide, after near three-quarter hour, I’d better go see WTF is going on (figured he’d fallen asleep). When I get back to the truck I near fell over laughing… My son is sitting in the seat, truck running, and afraid to even blink his eyes… because over a dozen deer were standing around the truck staring straight at him. Two quick shots and I had the tags filled…

How about you have your Lab trained to help you bring in firewood!
(but your wood comes back to you from the splitter when you toss it on to the woodpile).
You know you split a lot of wood when your neighbor comes up with a front end loader every few weeks to get splitter chips for kindling.
You have become a great welder from breaking your splitter!
You drool at a super splitter video but wonder how fast will i break this one?
