From my books looks more like sugar maple than red or silver. What's your thoughts? If so I have 50 + on 9 acres of land. Nembie here figured I would tap a fee for fist time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180225/eeba5d5315a2417ce8f1541844e85452.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180225/0dab7705e7644947a98efaba10ca21c8.jpghttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a9315a61f2ae/20180224_155156.mp4

Looks like a sugar to me. Red leaves are not smooth between the tips on the leaves, they are serrated.

Looks a little more like a black maple to me. Blacks are just as good as sugar maples. For a long time both were thought to be one and the same, but later the black was determined to be a different variety.

Sugar maple leaves are curved between the lobes like the curve between your thumb and fore-finger on an outstretched hand.

Blacks and sugars are all hard maples and I consider them the same for tapping

Those leaves are definitely sugar maple. I cant be certain of the trunk pic.
